Liverpool are reportedly determined to sign Marc Guehi ahead of Monday's deadline, even if it means paying more than initially expected.

Speaking earlier this week, he said: "From my side, now it is Friday and the window closes on Monday, he has to [stay].

"We had two clean sheets against Fredrikstad, we've had five games played with three clean sheets, we've conceded just one goal in the Premier League, so this is our foundation.
