Liverpool have reportedly made an offer in the range of £65 million for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as they look to bolster their defensive options in the January transfer window.
The Reds have had an amazing first half of the new season with Arne Slot’s side top of the Premier League table after 18 matches.
Liverpool beat West Ham 5-0 at the London stadium on Sunday with the Reds now eight points clear of second-placed Nottingham Forest with a game in hand.
Slot couldn’t have wished for a better start as Liverpool boss after leaving Dutch outfit Feyenoord in the summer to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.

Liverpool are also top of the Champions League league phase table with a couple of matches to play and there are suggestions they could now go on and win multiple titles this campaign.
However, the Merseyside club may need to bolster their squad to sustain a push on all fronts with Italy winger Federico Chiesa their only summer acquisition for this season. While Giorgi Mamardashvili was signed but sent back out on loan to Valencia.
And now Slot is keen to strengthen his squad with the signing of Palace centre-back Guehi and a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes as claimed by Football 365, the Reds have made an ‘offer’ of £65 million.
Despite attracting interest from several clubs, it ‘seems that Liverpool are determined to land one of the most promising talents in English football’.
Liverpool believe that the signing of Guehi ‘would be a bid to give greater solidity to the defence, bringing youth and quality, as well as great competition for the current players’.
