"Marc Guehi was the centre of one of the most talked-about transfer stories of the summer. Crystal Palace's 25-year-old captain was moments away from joining Liverpool, before Steve Parish and Oliver Glasner pulled the plug on transfer deadline day. The move came on the eve of England's September international break camp, with Guehi becoming a regular part of Thomas Tuchel's plans ahead of the World Cup."
"After scoring an impressive goal against Aston Villa, Guehi appeared to say goodbye to the Crystal Palace fans at Villa Park ahead of what was expected to be a straightforward move to Merseyside. Reports claim Guehi had completed his medical and had even recorded his goodbye video to Palace fans, before the transfer collapsed at a late stage."
"Of course we had a chat with him, he looks absolutely fine and impressive on the field. He has had a good couple of weeks behind him on the performance side. He has continued like that in camp and he handles it [his transfer situation] with respect and with a brilliant attitude."
