Liverpool are being linked with Marc Guehi after the England international impressed at the European Championship as one of the best centre-backs in the tournament
Marc Guehi is said to be someone Liverpool have scouted for a long time ahead of this breakout summer for the player. Guehi, who turned 24 the day before the European Championship final - a landmark overshadowed by sharing the same birthday as Lamine Yamal, has spent the last three seasons starting for Crystal Palace in the Premier League .
As the stats provider highlighted in explaining their reasoning, the defender contested and won more aerial duels than any other England player. Across the whole tournament, Reds captain Virgil van Dijk , Guehi's Palace teammate Joachim Andersen , Jannik Vestergaard and Merih Demiral were the only defenders to win more in the air. Opta also picked out his six blocks, which were also a team-high. Again, including all teams in Germany, only Georgia's Guram Kashia made more.
