The Crystal Palace ace has really stepped up for his country at this tournament, amid transfer interest from bigger clubs this summer, with CaughtOffside recently informed by sources of interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool.

Guehi is clearly a key player for England now and deserves credit for the way he’s performed at this level this summer, which shows just why bigger clubs seem convinced he’s now ready to make the step up to playing at the upper end of the Premier League and in competitions like the Champions League.

Southgate now has to deal with the fact that he’ll be without Guehi for the next game as England prepare to take on Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, and he’s clearly hinted it will be a big blow for the team as he praised the 23-year-old for being exceptional in this tournament so far.

“He’s been exceptional. We obviously lose him now for the next game, but he’s a young defender that we’ve had enormous belief in and he’s justified that with his performances in this tournament,” Southgate said, as quoted by the Metro.

Harry Maguire is not with England at the Euros this summer, so it won’t be quite as experienced a player coming in to fill in for Guehi in the next game, with Joe Gomez, Lewis Dunk and Ezri Konsa the three choices.
