Liverpool is being urged to prioritize the signing of Marc Guéhi in the January transfer window, with one expert branding it potentially the “biggest deal” of the month. The article frames Guéhi as an ideal long-term successor in Liverpool’s defense and a rare opportunity in a difficult market.

Guéhi, a standout for Crystal Palace and an established England international, is praised for his maturity, athleticism, and composure on the ball. His ability to defend aggressively while remaining comfortable in possession is highlighted as a perfect fit for Liverpool’s high line and front-foot style. The piece argues that he is already operating at a top-six level and would only improve surrounded by higher-quality teammates.

The article explains that Liverpool’s center-back situation makes this window especially significant. With Virgil van Dijk in the latter stages of his career and other options either injury-prone or inconsistent, Guéhi is presented as a rare chance to lock down a key position for years. His age profile and Premier League experience mean he could contribute immediately while still having substantial resale and development value.

Financially, the fee required is described as high but justified. In an inflated market for elite defenders, investing heavily in a proven Premier League center-back is portrayed as smarter than gambling on a cheaper, less tested alternative from abroad. The article suggests that delaying could invite competition from other elite clubs and significantly raise the eventual price.

The piece concludes that, tactically, strategically, and financially, Guéhi represents the kind of decisive move that can shape Liverpool’s next era. If the club manages to secure him in January, it is argued that this could be remembered as the standout transfer of the window, both for immediate impact and long-term stability at the heart of the defense.
