A former Everton chief govt has mentioned that one of many stars of Euro 2024 can be a ‘good match’ for Liverpool in the event that they had been to maneuver for him this summer season.
Whereas a few of England’s huge names did not stay as much as their billing for a lot of the event, Marc Guehi was persistently wonderful of their run to the ultimate, and the Crystal Palace defender has been the topic of quite a few scouting missions from the Reds’ recruitment group in current months (Fabrizio Romano).
The Mirror’s David Anderson claimed earlier this week that the 24-year-old isn’t at the moment a participant of curiosity at Anfield, however ex-Toffees CEO Keith Wyness thinks that he actually ought to be.

Talking in regards to the Eagles centre-back to Soccer Insider, he mentioned: “I believe he can be an ideal purchase for Liverpool. He’s precisely what they want on the again.
“He’s had a great Euros and is likely one of the gamers that’s come away with some respect from his efforts. He and Ollie Watkins are most likely the 2 winners from the England squad which have come away with it.
“Guehi is a tough one, however you could possibly be a £60m-£70m price and perhaps extra with sell-ons. He’s a younger expertise at a great age and appears to have acquitted himself properly.
“By no means purchase on the again of a event has all the time been my perception, however he confirmed himself final 12 months to be of excessive sufficient high quality to be chosen for the group. I believe he’s the right match for Anfield.”

We agree with Wyness when he says that Guehi may very well be a ‘good match’ for Liverpool in quite a few methods.
The Palace defender is confirmed at Premier League and now worldwide degree, whereas he wouldn’t take up a non-homegrown berth in Arne Slot’s squad and, at 24, he’ll shortly enter what’ll probably be his prime footballing years.
He’d additionally reinforce the Reds’ choices ready the place there have been issues about depth, and signing him would seem like the perfect riposte to lacking out on Leny Yoro to Manchester United.
Nonetheless, Guehi doesn’t appear to be on Liverpool’s shortlist in the mean time (in response to Anderson), and Wyness’ level in regards to the lofty price that the England worldwide would probably command – particularly off the again of Euro 2024 – is a pertinent one.
Whereas we’d like to see a participant of the 24-year-old’s calibre starring on the coronary heart of Liverpool’s defence, we belief Richard Hughes and his recruitment group to make an knowledgeable judgement as as to if or to not critically pursue him this summer season.
