Liverpool's pursuit of Marc Guehi could hit a snag due to Eberechi Eze's recent move to Arsenal, it's been claimed.

England star Eze completed his switch from Crystal Palace to the Gunners on Saturday in a deal that could reach £67.5million.

Palace skipper Guehi is also on the radar for an exit from Selhurst Park, with Liverpool showing keen interest in the defender throughout the summer.



While Liverpool are hot on his trail, Manchester City are also believed to be weighing up a bid for Guehi if Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake depart this week.

However, former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster thinks that Guehi might opt to stay at Palace long-term, potentially leveraging Eze's departure to negotiate a significant salary hike.

Despite the attention from two top-flight giants, the ex-Watford and Wrexham shot-stopper reckons there's still a strong chance Guehi will extend his tenure with the Eagles.

Speaking on the Fozcast podcast, Foster said: "I think the Eze deal might have played into Guehi's hands a little bit.

If Liverpool come knocking, then you want to go to Liverpool.

"But then you might be worried about the deal getting done and how much it might cost, and whether Liverpool are prepared to stump up.

"It puts massive power into Marc Guehi's hands to say to Palace, 'I tell you what, give me £150,000 a week on a four-year deal and I'll sign and say that I am the happiest Crystal Palace player in the world.'

"That's what it does, and I've seen it plenty of times before.
