Ex-Palace defender James Tomkins has urged Liverpool to sign Marc Guehi, labelling him an upgrade over Ibrahima Konate. Despite Palace rejecting two bids, Guehi remains a target as the Reds continue rebuilding their squad under Arne Slot. Liverpool’s summer saw arrivals like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez, yet defensive frailties persist with four goals conceded in two matches.
