Liverpool have looked very shaky defensively this season (Photo: Getty) Alternative options have been linked with Anfield, including Guehi’s centre-back partner Maxence Lacroix and Newcastle United’s Sven Botman, but Murphy believes it should be Guehi or bust.

Do they make a move in January and find a short term fix or just pay what they need to pay for Guehi? ‘I would get Guehi in January. He’s calm, he’s quick and he’s a good footballer.

He’s everything you want in a centre back. ‘Lacroix and Botman aren’t as good as Guehi. For such an important position you need the best or the one you want.’ Yann Bisseck is open to leaving Inter Milan in January (Photo: Getty) Palace cancelled Guehi’s sale at the eleventh hour after failing to sign a replacement in time but they may now have found their man, which could in turn help Liverpool sign Guehi in January.
