Liverpool have done anything but rest on their laurels off the back of their second Premier League title triumph, instead embarking on a historic summer of transfer spending.
The conclusion of the Alexander Isak saga on Deadline Day will doubtless attract the bulk of the headlines, but the Reds’ move to Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi may prove to be similarly significant in shaping their 2025–26 campaign.
Arne Slot’s side have started the new season with three wins from three, but a distinct defensive fallibility has underlined the impressive results. The Dutchman has so far struggled for the ideal balance over 90 minutes, and depth behind their starting centre-backs, one of whom had performed terribly before Arsenal came to town, has been a serious concern.
Their swoop for Guéhi thus supplies Liverpool with a security blanket, and the Reds now look well stocked behind Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté.
Here are the potential shirt numbers for the England international at Anfield.
