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

Published

on

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.

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.

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.
