Liverpool are reportedly set to win the race to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, with a deal ‘expected to be struck’ this summer.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Guehi could be a direct replacement for Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, who said in midweek that he doesn’t know where he will be playing next season. The Reds will not secure the England international’s signature on the cheap, despite his contract expiring in 2026.
DID YOU KNOW?
The report adds that Newcastle are ‘aware’ that they have lost out in the race for Guehi’s signature, less than a year on from bidding upwards of £60 million ($77.6m/€71m) for the ex-Chelsea man.
