Liverpool is currently making concrete progress in their efforts to sign Crystal Palace defender Mark Guech.
England International has long been praised for the Anfield hierarchy. The club sees it as a natural addition to strengthening the backline as part of a defensive rebuild under manager’s Arnslot.
According to TeamTalk, discussions between Liverpool and Guehi representatives have been accelerated significantly recently, raising confidence that agreements on personal terms will soon be completed.
Mark Guech wants to join Liverpool
Guehi, 24, is understood to be open to travel to Anfield this summer. Even Crystal Palace may not get in his way as the defender is about to enter the final year of his contract with the club.
An official approach to Crystal Palace is currently imminent, and Liverpool is preparing a formal offer.
Arsenal and Manchester United both have interest in palace stars, but Liverpool aims to move first to avoid a bid war.
His performances at Selhurst Park and the England national team only solidified his reputation as one of the most promising defenders in the Premier League.
Guehi is the ideal long-term alternative to Van Dijk
The centre-back helped Palace win the FA Cup by defeating Manchester City in the final.
It makes perfect sense for the Reds for Jarrel Kuanza to leave the club this summer, join Bayer Lebakusen and sign up for Guech.
The defender not only offers contest to Conate Ibrahima in his starting lineup, but can also be seen as a long-term alternative to club captain Virgil Van Dijk.
The Reds already signed Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wiltz in a record-breaking move from the club, and Gech was able to quickly join Anfield’s German offensive midfielder.
