Liverpool has been informed that it has "blown" its chances of securing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi's signature. I mean, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Liverpool when they didn't get the Guehi deal done.

Liverpool should have given them £50 million, because they're going to have Marc Guehi for six years. If Marc Guehi was at Liverpool now, he'd be playing at left-back and you'd be (Ibrahima) Konate, (Virgil) Van Dijk, (Conor) Bradley and Guehi, and you’d be thinking, crikey, that’s pretty versatile.

"Liverpool should have just paid Palace whatever they wanted. "They need to try and pull out all the stops to land him in January because by the summertime, I think he’ll have plenty of options to choose from, and they could be more attractive to him and his family." Regarding Ibrahima Konate, who finds himself out of contract next summer, Hutchison continued: "I'd keep Konate from now to the end of season because he's a good body to have around just in case Virgil got injured, or if Guehi signed and took a knock.
