šØ SHOCK MOVE: England star set to reject Arsenal for dream Liverpool switch! š“š„
Just as they battled fiercely for the Premier League crown last season, Liverpool and Arsenal are now set to lock horns againāthis time in the transfer marketāas both clubs target one of the leagueās standout defenders.
The two English heavyweights have already made bold early moves this summer. Liverpool have secured the high-profile signings of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, while Arsenal are close to finalizing a deal for former Reds target Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
Now, the spotlight turns to Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi. Entering the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, the England international is expected to move on, with several top clubs vying for his signature.
According to Football Insider, Guehi is leaning toward a move to Liverpool, with reports suggesting heās ready to snub Arsenalās advances in favour of joining the reigning Premier League champions.
One possible reason? Game time. With Gabriel MagalhĆ£es and William Saliba firmly established at the heart of Arsenalās defence, Guehi could struggle for minutes in North London. That concern may be driving his preference for Anfield, where heās believed to have a better shot at regular starts.
Former chief scout Mick Brown, speaking to Football Insider, shed more light on the playerās mindset:
> āMarc Guehi wants to play consistent first-team football next season. With the World Cup approaching, heās aiming to be a key figure in the England setup.
> If Arsenal canāt guarantee him that opportunity with Saliba and Gabriel ahead, heās likely to turn them down. The same applies to any club that canāt promise regular action.
> Thereās been speculation around Newcastle, Arsenal, and Liverpool. Out of those, I believe Liverpool and Newcastle are the most likely to offer him a starting role.
> If he joins Liverpool, I think he has the quality to cement his place in the side and prove his worth.ā
With Guehiās future still up in the air, one thing is clearāhis next move will be driven by the promise of regular football and a pathway to Englandās national team.
Anfield could be the perfect stage for Guehi to excel.
Securing regular first-team football seems to be a key factor influencing Marc Guehiās decision. With the defender showing a clear preference for a move to Anfield, the onus is now on Liverpool to intensify their pursuit.
Speaking on talkSPORT, former Premier League striker Troy Deeney endorsed the potential transfer:
> āHeād be a great fit alongside Van Dijk ā itās the perfect long-term plan for Liverpool.ā
While Arsenal are still in contention, Guehiās desire for consistent playing time appears to have swung momentum in favour of the Premier League champions.
