According to former Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham scout Mick Brown, Liverpool are expected to make a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
The England international has attracted attention from some of the biggest clubs in England.
He was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United in the summer transfer window but a move failed to materialise for the 24-year-old centre-back.
He is expected to move away from Selhurst Park in the near future after impressive performances for his club and particularly for England at Euro 2024.
With Virgil Van Dijk’s future up in the air, Brown expects Liverpool to make a move for the talented defender to bring him to Anfield.
“He’s in the England team as their first-choice centre-back,” he told Football Insider.
“That always carries a certain premium, but which top clubs are looking for a centre-back?
“Liverpool are, from what I’ve heard, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a move next summer.
“With the Van Dijk situation there as well, they’re looking at Guehi as a potential replacement.
“If he doesn’t sign a new contract there, they’ll be in desperate need of a top player there and I think Guehi definitely fits that bill.”
