However, Guehi has donned the No.6 shirt in each of his last four seasons with the Eagles.
Six, however, is currently free, having been vacated a year ago by Thiago Alcantara, and would seem the natural choice for Guehi, 24, if the move does go through.

The Hungarian international has already agreed terms on his own £40m move to Liverpool after excelling for Bournemouth these past two seasons.
The 21-year-old is then likely to hone in on the six shirt given it’s the only first XI number available.
Indeed, the Chelsea academy product is likely to be more focused on simply getting a move to an elite club, and with it the opportunity to play Champions League football for the first time in his career.
