Terrible news for Liverpool, they really do need that defensive reinforcement, and Guehi does seem like an ideal fit for the time being, especially now that Konate might be injured after hobbling off yesterday against Arsenal.

He also would have been an immediate pick up for me, as the ideal way into that Liverpool's defense at just 4.5m, but you can't always have it all, Crystal Palace new exactly what they were doing that's why they stalled the deal for as long as possible.
