Not content with signing Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, and with Milos Kerkez seemingly on his way to Anfield too, Liverpool are being strongly linked with a move for 24-year-old Marc Guehi.
With Jarell Quansah close to agreeing a move to Bayer Leverkusen for around £30m, Liverpool are wasting no time in getting an upgrade.
The Crystal Palace defender has just a single year left on his contract and no prospect of a renewal. Palace wanted £65m from Newcastle last summer, then later turned down an offer of £55m plus £15m add-ons from Tottenham in January, but it will be interesting what value they put in their player as he heads into his final season at the club.
