The Anfield outfit have already spent well over £200million on improving their ranks, but due to the sales of players such as Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, there’s still plenty of money left to be spent.

Over the last couple of days, three players have been strongly linked with a Liverpool move, with the Reds looking to retain their Premier League title.



The Crystal Palace captain has entered the final year of his contract and has long been linked with a transfer to Liverpool.

And, since the Reds only have three senior centre-backs among their ranks, it’s not a surprise to see Guehi being linked with a move.

In fact, while live on Sky Sports, former England defender Michael Dawson gave his thoughts on whether Guehi is a better centre-back than Konate at the moment.

“Do I think he [Guehi] is better than Konate at this moment in time?

It’s a big decision for him.

“If he plays for Crystal Palace this year, he plays for England next summer in the World Cup.

“If he doesn’t and plays for Liverpool, that’s the question mark, will he play enough games to be in that starting team [for England].

Seeing as though Liverpool haven’t yet replaced Jarell Quansah, there’s a rather large hole in their defence.

He was one of the most sought-after players in Italy, with teams such as Inter Milan vying for his transfer.

And, although he has bags of potential to fulfil, as he’s still so young, it’s unfair to rely on him to be the Reds’ third choice.

This is why it makes total sense for Liverpool to still move for Guehi, as he’d be able to give Konate and Van Dijk some well-deserved rest while allowing the starting XI to keep at the same quality.
