EPL: Why I Snub Arsenal, Liverpool To Join Man City – Marc Guehi

Former Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has revealed why he snubbed Liverpool and Arsenal to join Manchester City in the January transfer window.

The England international was close to moving to Liverpool in the summer, but the expected transfer did not materialize before the window closed.

The FA Cup winners had to make a tough choice earlier this month when it became clear that the team captain did not want to sign a new contract.

His current deal is in its last six months, and Arsenal, who are top of the Premier League, showed interest in signing the former Chelsea centre-back, even though they already have a strong defensive squad.

However, the Gunners reportedly wanted to wait until the summer to bring him in on a free transfer.

Guehi, however, says he was only interested in City and wants to help Pep Guardiola’s team return to the top of English football.

He said, “There’s been some talk and a lot of noise. But when they asked if I wanted to move to City, there was just one answer.

“I know how it feels to win, and I won’t stop until I feel that same way again. A lot has been said, but I’ll let my football speak for itself.”

However, if City want to win trophies this season, Guehi will need to step up immediately, especially since the team is struggling with defensive injuries.

City are missing centre-backs John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, and Ruben Dias due to injuries.

Additionally, Nathan Ake has had trouble playing more than once a week because of fitness issues.

The two young players, Abdukodir Khusanov and Max Alleyne, aged 21 and 20, have featured in the last four games, but if Guehi is available, it will give Guardiola more options.

“It’s such an honor to play for such a big club,” Guehi, who cost City £20 million, said.

“For me, I’ve always been really focused on getting better and wanting to improve.”

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
