Marc Guehi’s stock has never been so high.
The 25-year-old has been a mainstay for Crystal Palace since joining the club in 2021 – making 156 appearances in four seasons, and memorably leading them to their first major trophy when they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May.
A second Wembley triumph soon followed as Guehi and his team-mates saw off Liverpool on penalties to win the Community Shield.
Guehi’s commanding defensive displays have caught the eye of many suitors, with Premier League champions Liverpool keen to sign the England international this summer.

The Football Interview: Marc Guehi
Marc: Yes. Home is my sisters. Everyone is just funny. I get to be myself in a way, if that makes sense? I don’t know if I’m the only one in football that feels like this but sometimes – not all the time – you have to put on a show. You have to not necessarily be someone you’re not but be an extension of yourself to kind of make it in this environment.
Marc: I love listening to music… learning different things, whether it’s trying to learn DJ-ing – I’ve tried to do that a little bit – or reading different books. I love going to the movies, to the cinema, because no-one goes to the cinema, so it’s nice to be in a cinema on your own… popcorn! I drummed at church for a long time. I drummed at school. I don’t have a drum set but I really want one. That’s a really good way to enjoy music and escape.
