Marc Guehi Next Club Odds: Liverpool Favourites To Sign Palace Defender

Crystal Palace managed to keep hold of their star defender Marc Guehi last summer, and they face another fight to keep his services in this transfer window. 

The best betting sites continue to update their odds on where the England defender might move to ahead of the new season.

Guehi became the first Palace captain to lift a major trophy in their 174-year history, beating Manchester City 1-0 in the final of the FA Cup. 

As a result, Selhurst Park will host European football next season, unless UEFA decides otherwise.

UEFA does not allow individuals to have decisive influence at numerous clubs, which is the case with John Textor, whose Eagle Football Company holds a 43% stake in Palace, as well as owning a majority stake in French side Lyon.

Lyon also qualified for Europe and by finishing higher in their league than Palace did in the Premier League, the Eagles may be denied a place in the Europa League.

Guehi will want to be a regular in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the remainder of their qualifiers for next summer's World Cup in Mexico, the United States and Canada. 

The 24-year-old was tipped to join Newcastle last summer, but decided to stay in south London, however now might be the time to move to a club in the Champions League.

We look at the clubs lining up to sign the defender.

Guehi Would Strengthen Champions 

Liverpool have already strengthened their squad this summer with the addition of right-back Jeremie Frimpong and the imminent arrival of forward Florian Wirtz.

Defensively, Arne Slot will want to be even stronger in defence as they look to be more competitive in next season's Champions League.

The Reds are 4/6 favourites on football betting sites to sign Guehi before the transfer window closes at 7pm on Monday, September 1.  

Marc Guehi Next Club Odds:

Newcastle Remain In The Mix For Guehi

Newcastle wanted to sign Guehi last summer, but they did alright without him, winning their first domestic trophy in 70 years and qualifying for the Champions League.

Their squad needs strengthening and Guehi would be a great addition to Eddie Howe's side. 

At 24, he has yet to reach his peak, so the Magpies could get many great years from the defender. 

Newcastle are 6/4 on betting apps to secure the services of Guehi. 

Guehi Could Be Key To Chelsea's Challenge

In January, Chelsea were neck and neck with Liverpool in the title race, but their form dipped in the second half of the season. 

Enzo Maresca's side only managed 11 cleans sheets in the league last season and the addition of Guehi would certainly help them defensively.

The Blues have not been afraid to splash the cash since Todd Boehly bought the club and they will be linked with a number of players this summer.

Chelsea, who qualified for the Champions League by finishing fourth last season, are 2/1 to sign Guehi.

Defence Will Be Frank's Priority

New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank needs to use the transfer window to shore up his defence ahead of the new season. 

Spurs had the fifth-worst defence in the Premier League last season with 65 goals leaked in 38 games, and keeping only six clean sheets. 

Adding Guehi to their squad as they prepare for the new season that includes the Champions League, would certainly improve that side of Tottenham's game. 

Spurs are 4/1 to beat their rivals to Guehi's signature.

Guehi Would Improve Arsenal 

While Arsenal need a forward before anything else, if they had a chance to sign Guehi, they should take it.

At 24, Guehi has a number of good years ahead of him and he could be a future captain for club and country. 

The Gunners are 6/1 to add Guehi to their squad. 

Other clubs in with a shout of signing the defender include Manchester United (8/1), Manchester City (10/1) and Aston Villa (14/1).
