Star player says YES to Liverpool transfer

A Premier League star player has reportedly approved a potential move to Liverpool.

This has been a summer of brilliant recruitment so far from the Reds. The club's sporting director Richard Hughes has delivered a masterstroke in signing Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.

On top of that, he's added much needed depth to the goalkeeping department bringing in an experienced player in Freddie Woodman and a very talented young goalkeeper in Armin Pecsi, who will be training alongside the club's first team players but playing a lot of his minutes for the U21 team.

Of course, Liverpool are not quite done in the window. A lot of the important work has been established. However, there are still areas where Hughes will want to strengthen.

Among those, a centre-back and a striker is currently the biggest priority - although this could change if there are more departures than expected.

For example, someone like Luis Diaz could leave the club and that would open the doors for the Reds to try to sign a left-winger as well.

But probably the transfer that is of the highest importance is the centre-back position. With Jarell Quansah expected to imminently complete his move to Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool are left really short in that department.

That's why it's important to bring in a replacement for Quansah and it looks like Hughes is already nearing a move for an England international.

Marc Guehi seems to be the club's first priority and now it seems like the Crystal Palace star has helped Liverpool's cause by saying yes to a potential move to Anfield.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Guehi has 'given his availability' to join Liverpool and sign a contract until 2030. The report goes onto say that Liverpool are now working on reaching an agreement with Crystal Palace.

What that agreement will look like remains to be seen. Anfield Watch understands that Liverpool are looking to agree a £40m deal, which would be an absolute bargain.

Guehi has been the star of a really exciting Palace team for some time now. He's their club captain and he is also a regular at international level for England.

Bringing in a player with that kind of experience to replace Quansah's role in the squad is a huge upgrade. Not to mention, Guehi only turns 25-years-old next month - meaning he is extremely young.

And on top of that there's the bonus that ex-Chelsea players always tend to do well at Anfield. From Daniel Sturridge to Mohamed Salah, Guehi might be the next one.
