Liverpool handed massive boost in efforts to sign “superb” £80m player

A “superb” £80m player would prefer to join Liverpool instead of another Premier League club in Janaury, according to a new transfer rumour.

Arne Slot wasn’t exactly backed hugely during the summer transfer window, with Federico Chiesa the only signing who arrived straight away and Giorgi Mamardashvili remaining on loan at Valencia for the 2024/25 campaign.

For that reason, supporters will be keen to see additions come in over the next 12 months, whether that be midway through the season or next summer.

According to a new report from TEAMtalk, both Liverpool and Newcastle United are keen on signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in the January transfer window.

Alan Shearer waxing lyrical over his displays, saying: “He looked good, didn’t he? I thought his passing was really good. You know when you’re fizzing it into the middle and having to get through and break the line.”I thought some of his passing was superb. He didn’t have to defend too much, but then you’re on the ball and with possession, you need someone like that.”

The fact that Guehi would reportedly rather play for Liverpool than Newcastle acts as an immediate boost, although it remains to be seen if they will be willing to break the bank for a player who still hasn’t yet proven himself at the highest level for a sustained period of time, having never even played in the Champions League in his career.
