'Guehi edges closer to Liverpool switch' as medical test booked for Monday
Marc Guehi could soon be named as a Liverpool player.
The England international has been one of the most consistent centre-back options in the Premier League over recent years.
This has culminated with the 24-year-old lifting the FA Cup as the club captain of Crystal Palace, something which could prove to be his final action for the Eagles.
A move to Anfield could now be in the pipeline as a medical looks set to be booked in, ahead of another summer transfer at Liverpool.
Guehi to sign for Liverpool after medical is completed
There is no doubt that bringing in the ex-Chelsea man would be a wise move, especially with Ibrahima Konate being linked away from L4.
The Frenchman has often been criticised for his erratic nature and ability to make a mistake, something that the Palace man doesn't showcase regularly.
As a result, bringing the Englishman in could be the deal that transforms the Reds' fortunes, especially with the chance to partner Virgil van Dijk.
The need for Guehi has only been enhanced on Merseyside as a squad asset looks set to finally complete an exit this summer.
A departure for Jarell Quansah is firmly on the cards, with a medical booked in at Bayer Leverkusen on Monday (30 June) [Fabrizio Romano, 28 June].
The 22-year-old looks set to link up with Erik ten Hag's side in the Bundesliga, leaving the door open for Guehi to join the Reds in the coming weeks.
Guehi to replace Quansah at Liverpool
It is an excellent piece of business for Arne Slot to part ways with a squad player, bring in a £30million fee and then target better options.
This would be the case if Guehi were to come in, given how much the gulf in experience and quality is between himself and Quansah.
| Stat (Premier League 24/25) | Marc Guehi |
| Appearances | 34 |
| Goal involvements | 5 |
| Tackles won | 34 |
| Duels won | 168 |
It will be interesting to see how much Palace could demand in terms of a fee for their skipper, especially with the knowledge of this sale to Leverkusen.
