Crystal Palace central defender Marc Guehi wants to join Liverpool, according to Football Insider. The former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout has claimed that the England international has his heart set on joining the Premier League champions.
Brown said: “Tottenham have been looking at Marc Guehi again.
“They want to sign a centre-back and he’s been on their list since they had that bid rejected in January, because Palace might be willing to let him go.
“I think it’s going to be a difficult one to get done though, because Liverpool are the favourites.
“He wants to go to a top-level side where he’s got a chance to win things like the Premier League and Champions League on a consistent basis.
“So I’m told he’s got his heart set on a move to Liverpool, where he could go and do that.
“They’re definitely interested in him and I expect they’ll make another offer at some stage.
“If that doesn’t happen, though, I wouldn’t be overly shocked to see him stay at Palace for another season and wait to go to Liverpool on a free transfer.
“Even if Tottenham do come in for him, I expect he would prefer to wait it out and see what else comes.
“There’s always a bit of uncertainty about Tottenham, for me, and I think he wants to go somewhere he’s going to be stitched-on and he knows what he’s going to get.
“Liverpool are the one he wants, so I think Tottenham will have to look elsewhere.â€
