Liverpool's pursuit of Marc Guehi has been given a major boost, with reports suggesting a deal is likely to be finalized before the summer transfer window closes.

This speculation was fuelled further following an alleged snub of Palace manager Oliver Glasner on the pitch after their goalless draw against Chelsea in the Premier League, although this has since been dismissed as a misunderstanding.

Former Manchester United and Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster believes that Guehi's move to Liverpool will materialise despite the discrepancy in valuation between the two clubs.

Rumours suggest that Club Brugge central defender Joel Ordonez is on their shortlist, alongside Sporting CP's Ousmane Diomande.

Earlier this month, Palace co-owner Steve Parish conceded that Guehi might be on the move this summer
