Report: Liverpool likely to lose out on £75m Premier League star to rivals Chelsea

Liverpool are behind Chelsea in the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

The England international was the subject of interest from a number of clubs in the summer transfer window last year.

However, a move away from Selhurst Park did not materialise for him when at one stage it looked like a move to Newcastle United was certain.

Guehi is among the headlines once again with the biggest Premier League clubs looking to make a move for him.

According to GiveMeSport, Chelsea are leading the race to sign the centre-back ahead of Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle.

The former Chelsea defender could get another shot at a career at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have not hesitated to spend money in the transfer market and their summer transfer business was a proof of that.

They strengthened all the positions after the arrival of manager Enzo Maresca and they plan to do that once again this year.

Guehi has attracted interest from Liverpool, who see him as the long term replacement of club captain and reliable centre-back Virgil Van Dijk.
