A former Everton chief govt has stated that one of many stars of Euro 2024 can be a ‘good match’ for Liverpool in the event that they had been to maneuver for him this summer season.
Whereas a few of England’s large names didn’t dwell as much as their billing for a lot of the event, Marc Guehi was persistently wonderful of their run to the ultimate, and the Crystal Palace defender has been the topic of quite a few scouting missions from the Reds’ recruitment staff in current months (Fabrizio Romano).
The Mirror’s David Anderson claimed earlier this week that the 24-year-old isn’t at present a participant of curiosity at Anfield, however ex-Toffees CEO Keith Wyness thinks that he definitely must be.

Talking concerning the Eagles centre-back to Soccer Insider, he stated: “I believe he can be a fantastic purchase for Liverpool. He’s precisely what they want on the again.
“He’s had Euros and is likely one of the gamers that’s come away with some respect from his efforts. He and Ollie Watkins are most likely the 2 winners from the England squad which have come away with it.
“Guehi is a troublesome one, however you might be taking a look at a £60m-£70m price and perhaps extra with sell-ons. He’s a younger expertise at age and appears to have acquitted himself nicely.
“By no means purchase on the again of a event has at all times been my perception, however he confirmed himself final yr to be of excessive sufficient high quality to be chosen for the staff. I believe he’s the proper match for Anfield.”

We agree with Wyness when he says that Guehi might be a ‘good match’ for Liverpool in quite a few methods.
The Palace defender is confirmed at Premier League and now worldwide stage, whereas he wouldn’t take up a non-homegrown berth in Arne Slot’s squad and, at 24, he’ll shortly enter what’ll probably be his prime footballing years.
He’d additionally reinforce the Reds’ choices able the place there have been considerations about depth, and signing him would look like the best riposte to lacking out on Leny Yoro to Manchester United.
Nonetheless, Guehi doesn’t appear to be on Liverpool’s shortlist in the mean time (in accordance with Anderson), and Wyness’ level concerning the lofty price that the England worldwide would probably command – particularly off the again of Euro 2024 – is a pertinent one.
Whereas we’d like to see a participant of the 24-year-old’s calibre starring on the coronary heart of Liverpool’s defence, we belief Richard Hughes and his recruitment staff to make an knowledgeable judgement as as to whether or to not severely pursue him this summer season.
