Liverpool have officially confirmed the signing of England international Marc Guehi in a deal that marks one of the most exciting defensive additions of the season. The Crystal Palace captain will be unveiled in January after completing all formalities, with the club viewing him as a cornerstone of their long-term defensive rebuild.
Guehi’s arrival has already sparked huge excitement among Liverpool supporters, with many fans hailing him as “the next Virgil van Dijk.” His leadership, composure on the ball, and consistency at the back have made him one of the Premier League’s most admired defenders — and now, he’s set to bring that quality to Anfield.
Sources inside the club describe Guehi as a key target identified months ago by Liverpool’s recruitment team, who believe his intelligence, physicality, and calm presence perfectly fit Arne Slot’s system. The deal represents not only an investment in defensive stability but also a statement of intent as Liverpool continue to strengthen their title ambitions.
The 24-year-old has earned widespread praise for his performances with both Crystal Palace and the England national team, and many see his move to Liverpool as the natural next step in his career.
With his unveiling set for January, Guehi’s signing signals the beginning of a new era in Liverpool’s backline — one built on youth, leadership, and Premier League experience.
