England manager Thomas Tuchel says he has held talks with Marc Guehi and has been very impressed with his attitude.

The defender met up with the Three Lions squad the morning after his deadline day transfer to Liverpool from Crystal Palace collapsed in dramatic fashion.

The Reds had a £35m agreement in place with their Premier League rivals, Guehi had undergone a medical in London, and was ready to sign a five-year contract.



The green light never came as Palace failed to sign a replacement in the final hours before Monday's deadline, therefore the 25-year-old was forced to stay put.

Liverpool's transfer target was reportedly 'angry' with the outcome but it would appear he has not let this drag him down this week in the build up to England's FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Andorra (September 6) and Serbia (September 9).

"We had a chat with him and he looks absolutely fine.

He handles it with respect and with grace and with brilliant attitude."

He explained: "It is one reason why we called the players up on Tuesday, to not have all these mixed emotions.

They come on Tuesday, so they have one day off.

"We also didn't want to have that week too long.
