Guehi Undergoes Liverpool Medical Ahead of Deadline Move

Deal moves closer

Liverpool’s pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has reached a crucial stage with the England international undergoing his medical in London ahead of today’s 7pm transfer deadline, as reported by Paul Gorst.

“Understand Marc Guehi is having his medical in London ahead of a move to #LFC before today’s 7pm transfer deadline,” Gorst confirmed.

The move is expected to significantly bolster Arne Slot’s defensive options, addressing a key priority for Liverpool in this window. If finalised, Guehi’s arrival would represent one of the standout deals of the summer.

Guehi has been one of the Premier League’s most reliable defenders over the past two seasons, offering composure, athleticism and leadership qualities well beyond his years. Securing him ahead of intense competition is a coup for Liverpool’s recruitment team.

The timing adds to the excitement. With a gruelling fixture list ahead and defensive depth stretched thin, Guehi’s arrival couldn’t come sooner. Slot will relish having a defender who can seamlessly slot into a high-pressing system while also providing calm distribution from the back.

Liverpool’s transfer strategy has faced scrutiny in recent years, particularly in defence, but this deal demonstrates foresight. Guehi is not just cover for Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté, he’s a long-term investment who could lead the backline in years to come.

Fans will now be eagerly awaiting the official announcement, hoping the medical is completed without complications. This signing could be one of the defining moves of the summer window for a Liverpool squad targeting silverware on multiple fronts.
