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.”

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has explained why he won’t stay one more year at the club.

The 34-year-old is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the current season.

The Brazilian, however, had been urged by the club’s fans to extend his contract by one more year due to his brilliant display for Michael Carrick’s side this term.

Speaking on the development, Casemiro told ESPN Brasil, “There is no chance [for me to stay one more year].

“It is leaving through the front door. It has been four wonderful years, and I am eternally grateful not only to the club but to the fans.

“I think it is over. The cycle has ended here. I am moving on to a new chapter in my career.”

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has said Arsenal will go on to win the Premier League title, after Manchester City dropped points against Everton.

City were held to a 3-3 draw at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night.

The result means Pep Guardiola’s men are now five points behind Arsenal, but they have one game in hand.

Rooney believes the Gunners will beat West Ham this weekend and go on to be champions.

He said on BBC Sport: “No, I’m concerned for West Ham. I just think Arsenal are efficient and professional.

“I just think they will win every game. So obviously, with the result tonight, that means they will win the league.”

UCL, EPL: Petr Cech Advises Chelsea On How To Win Trophies

Chelsea legend, Petr Cech, has advised his old club on how to win the UEFA Champions League or the English Premier League.

Chelsea are already out of the Premier League title race this season, and they are at risk of missing out on UEFA Champions League qualification for next season because they are currently not in the ninth position on the Premier League table.

Speaking to The Athletic about Chelsea, Cech said that the Blues need to change their philosophy of signing only young players if they want to win the Premier League or Champions League.

According to the former goalkeeper, the Premier League west London club needs to add experienced players to mentor the young players in the squad.

“You have to look at what you want to achieve. You can have young, talented players, and you can win, but it’s very rare that you manage to do that,” he said.

“If you want to win every season and compete every season, that does not go together.

“You have to change your philosophy. Certain things don’t go together because, in order to win a Champions League or a Premier League… these are really tough competitions, and you have to be consistent.

“You need to have a strong core of the team. And then you can bring young, talented players who will grow faster and then will be held by the experienced players to help navigate them through difficult times when they come.”

Currently, Chelsea have just one player, Tosin Adarabioyo, who is over 28 this season, and the defender has not been playing regularly.
