A former Everton chief govt has stated that one of many stars of Euro 2024 could 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 reside as much as their billing for a lot of the event, Marc Guehi was constantly 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 ought to be.

Talking in regards to the Eagles centre-back to Soccer Insider, he stated: “I feel he could be an important purchase for Liverpool. He’s precisely what they want on the again.
“He’s had Euros and is among the gamers that’s come away with some respect from his efforts. He and Ollie Watkins are in all probability the 2 winners from the England squad which have come away with it.
“Guehi is a tough one, however you might be taking a look at a £60m-£70m charge and possibly extra with sell-ons. He’s a younger expertise at age and appears to have acquitted himself properly.
“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 feel he’s the proper match for Anfield.”

We agree with Wyness when he says that Guehi may very well 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 seemingly be his prime footballing years.
He’d additionally reinforce the Reds’ choices ready the place there have been issues about depth, and signing him would look like the perfect riposte to lacking out on Leny Yoro to Manchester United.
Nevertheless, Guehi doesn’t appear to be on Liverpool’s shortlist in the intervening time (in keeping with Anderson), and Wyness’ level in regards to the lofty charge that the England worldwide would seemingly 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 if or to not severely pursue him this summer season.
