"Chelsea are hoping to sign the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 25-year-old was close to signing for Liverpool during the summer transfer window, but the move collapsed on the final day of the window when Crystal Palace pulled the plug after failing to find a quality replacement for their captain. Liverpool are still very much in the race, and they are considered as the favourites to sign the defender."
"Chelsea need Marc Guehi Chelsea have looked vulnerable, defensively, and they need to tighten up at the back if they want to get back to the top of English football. Bringing their former Academy graduate back to the club would be ideal. He is well settled in the Premier League, and he knows the London club well. He could make an instant impact."
"As far as Manchester United are concerned, they need a quality long-term replacement for Harry Maguire, who is entering the twilight stage of his career. The Crystal Palace star could be the ideal acquisition. Finally, Liverpool will hope to get the deal done in the upcoming window after failing to sign the player in the summer. It remains to be seen where he ends up. He could be the ideal replacement for Ibrahima Konate, who will be a free agent in the summer."
Marc Guehi's contract with Crystal Palace expires at the end of the season, attracting interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. A summer move to Liverpool nearly materialised but collapsed when Palace could not secure a suitable replacement. Liverpool remain favourites, while Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are monitoring the defender. Chelsea view Guehi as an immediate defensive reinforcement and former academy graduate. Arsenal may not guarantee regular playing time. Manchester United see him as a long-term successor to Harry Maguire, and Liverpool could recruit him if Ibrahima Konate leaves as a free agent.
