Liverpool agree £35m deal for Guehi with defender set to undergo medical
Latest from Sky Sports News' Vinny O’Connor, Rob Dorsett and Mark McAdam:

Liverpool and Crystal Palace have agreed a £35m deal for Marc Guehi.

The defender has been given permission to undergo a medical, which will happen in London.

What a bargain they've got there

He’s not a profile for central centre back in a 5. Fine for RCB but we’ve got Tuanzebe and Walker for that. Mengi is a central centre back and played there for Luton in the PL.

I just want someone who can mark at set pieces and head the ball away

Looks like we can forget about Sargent. Sunderland are in for him (in addition to Bobby):

Also seeing links to Brentford

That’s a shame, thought he’d be ideal for us.

In the last year of his contract - I'm surprised more haven't bid for him. Didn't Newcastle get a huge offer turned down last season?

Agree with your thoughts
He played for Luton in the PL when they got relegated
He then played for them the following year in the Championship when they got relegated
Is he good enough for us now whether in a back 5 or 4 ?

Somebody will mention it, so it might as well be me. Heaton, Gudmundsson and Pope had all just been relegated from the Championship when we signed them. They turned out alright.

If he’s cheap enough there’s a high chance of a profit and player trading is our chosen method to help bridge gap financially. He is decent too, good pedigree and only 23.

Obafemi confirmed exit on loan.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Mon Sep 01, 2025 4:58 pm

I'd have hoped for a big more than Mengi.

We need an absolute physical specimen (appreciate they aren't easy to come by) to play that central CB position. 6ft3 +, chucks their head onto everything.

Not to mention, it's another player who's had significant time out with various injuries and we have enough of those as is.

Conroy92 · Post by **Conroy92** » Mon Sep 01, 2025 5:43 pm

Dream window would be either a CB or RB and a CAM still to come. But regardless when Luis confirms it's been a good one.

I think Mengi has shown he can play in this league, which is a big thing to us. Less risk, less time to adapt.

Can't see a problem with it at all.

burnley007 · Post by **burnley007** » Mon Sep 01, 2025 6:06 pm

I would still like a young forward, but still a great window.

Neither… 7pm.

Deal sheets can be done prior to give a 2 hour extension on paperwork completion, though.

You would have thought the likes of Benson, Hladky, Delcroix and Agyei would see little or no hope of getting starts
But presume other clubs thought the same, plus wages may have been an issue
