‘The standard’ – Adam Wharton reacts to Marc Guehi’s confirmed Crystal Palace news
Crystal Palace players have joined in reaction to an announcement involving Marc Guehi amid speculation around his future.
Guehi looked set to join Liverpool on deadline day but a move was blocked by Oliver Glasner, following concerns of selling the captain without a replacement.
Despite the uncertainty, he has performed admirably, as he now enters the final few months of his current contract.
With that comes more competition for Liverpool as Football Insider revealed Chelsea and Man City are also interested in Guehi, alongside Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Despite the transfer talk, the defender’s consistency and leadership have been recognised by Crystal Palace on social media.
Crystal Palace reward Marc Guehi with player of the month
Crystal Palace posted on social media that Guehi has been awarded the club’s player of the month following his dominant performances at the back for August.
The club announced the news on Instagram with the caption: “Setting the standard . Congratulations to Marc Guehi who is crowned your NET88 Player of The Month for August”.
The post saw plenty of reaction from his teammates as Adam Wharton and Daniel Munoz both shared appreciation by liking the post.
While the transfer rumours surround him, the defender has continued to feature under Glasner, with him still proving to be a standout player.
However, despite his performances, reports suggested that some Palace players were left unsettled by the handling of Guehi’s blocked move to Anfield.
Football Insider had revealed Guehi had his heart set on a move to Liverpool, and would have rejected approaches from interested clubs such as Newcastle and Tottenham.
Still, he has continued to impress, and Palace have continued to recognise their captain’s influence on the pitch.
Crystal Palace set Adam Wharton transfer stance
While Guehi continues to be linked away, another Palace star attracting attention is Wharton.
However, Football Insider reported that Palace are planning to reject any offers for Wharton during the January transfer window.
The Englishman has impressed ever since his arrival from Blackburn, with Liverpool and Real Madrid showing interest in the midfielder.
But after a summer dominated by transfer drama and already allowing a key player in Eberechi Eze to leave, the club are determined to hold firm and keep Wharton
