Arsenal have paved the way for Liverpool to wrap up the first signing in the Arne Slot era.
The absence of Harry Maguire was a major concern for ex-England boss Gareth Southgate heading into Euro 2024. Maguire had been a mainstay during Southgate’s tenure, though was unavailable for selection in Germany.
The void Maguire left was filled by Marc Guehi who was arguably England’s player of the tournament. Indeed, Guehi’s displays were so promising, in fact, that Maguire may struggle to displace the 24-year-old under the next England manager.
Guehi more than justified his promotion to the starting eleven through his exemplary displays at club level for Crystal Palace over the last three seasons.
Guehi has formed a superb pairing with Joachim Andersen at Selhurst Park and the Premier League’s big-hitters began to take note.
Indeed, Guehi emerged on Man Utd’s radar along with Leny Yoro, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Matthijs De Ligt. United are no longer in the mix for Guehi having unveiled Yoro on Thursday night.
