Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi was close to joining Liverpool during the summer transfer window but a move to Anfield fell through at the last minuteLiverpool-linked Marc Guehi has praised his Crystal Palace teammates after Saturday's 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Missing out on Guehi at the time was not seen as a blow for Arne Slot's side, with the England defender seeing his Palace contract expire next summer, meaning the Reds could then sign him for free.But Liverpool have struggled badly defensively this season, with 20 goals conceded in the Premier League so far.

Asked on whether he knows the next step in his career, he said: "No, because I like to live in the present and I can't be thinking about the future at all because there is a lot of work to do, but also my future is in God's hands."Wherever God wants me to go, I will go, but that will be taken care of at the end of the season."The former Chelsea youth team player stressed he will not let his contract situation affect him heading into next summer's World Cup in the United States.He added: "For me, it doesn't really matter, to be honest. As long as I'm playing well and helping Palace, there's definitely an opportunity for me to be here as I am today."Whether it's sorted or not, it's not really the most important thing to be honest."Personally, I don't know if I can think that far ahead.

I like to just take it step by step, and that is just focusing on the games that I have at Palace and any upcoming opportunities I have here."When [deadline day] happened, it was all a blur. To be honest, I'm still the same young man trying to find his feet, find his way, trying to improve."There's so many experiences I can take, not just from that, but just the games that I've had over the last 12 months or so."Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL packageThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
