Newcastle United could face competition from Liverpool for Marc Guehi, with Ebere Eze also emerging as a potential option for Eddie Howe.
According to Alan Nixon of The Sun, new Reds boss Arne Slot is a big fan of Guehi and is eager for Liverpool to sign the 24-year-old. He reports that we are yet to launch a formal bid for the centre-back, with Palace currently demanding a whopping £70m.
In the same piece, Nixon claims that Palace are also ‘anxious’ that Newcastle will make a move for Eze – who has a £60m release clause in his deal – if Liverpool reignite their interest in Anthony Gordon, with Eze considered a potential left-sided replacement for the scouse winger.
Newcastle’s preference appears to be signing Guehi at centre-back and keeping Gordon at the club. But Nixon suggests that Eze is one to watch should Gordon push for a return to Merseyside.
In another potential domino effect, the report suggests that right-sided centre-back Joe Gomez could also be offered our way by Liverpool should they pursue Gordon and beat us to a deal for Guehi.
Essentially, Nixon is saying Eze could be targeted if Gordon departs, while Gomez – who we looked to sign for £45m during the PSR scramble at the end of June – may be back on the agenda if Liverpool beat us to Guehi.
