Failed Transfer to Liverpool
During the last summer transfer window, Guehi was close to finalizing a move to Liverpool. He had successfully passed a medical examination, and a £35 million transfer was anticipated.

International Recognition
Guehi recently earned his 26th cap with the England national team during a friendly against Wales, which ended in a 3-0 victory. He expressed optimism regarding his chances of being selected for the 2026 World Cup, regardless of whether he remains at Palace for the remainder of the season.
