Guéhi Stuns Palace Fans With Open Plea for Liverpool Move After Wembley Win
Marc Guéhi may have captained Crystal Palace to a dramatic Community Shield triumph over Liverpool, but his post-match confession overshadowed the celebrations.
Speaking to reporters after the penalty shootout victory, the England defender admitted:
“Although we beat Liverpool, I’ll admit it—I’d still want to join them before the transfer window closes. I’ve always dreamed of wearing that shirt and playing in the same team as him. Winning against them felt good, but playing alongside him would be something else entirely.”
The revelation sent social media into overdrive. Liverpool fans—still reeling from the defeat—flooded timelines with calls for the club to sign the Palace skipper immediately.
Guéhi’s display at Wembley only added fuel to the speculation. Commanding in the air, sharp in the tackle, and composed under pressure, he looked every bit the solution to Liverpool’s defensive frailties.
With Arne Slot’s side clearly in need of reinforcements after costly lapses at the back, the timing of Guéhi’s comments could hardly be more pointed. Whether Liverpool make their move before the window closes remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: the player himself has left the door wide open.
