Guehi Stays at Palace, Elliott Joins Villa in Style…
Marc Guehi is sticking to his Crystal Palace roots like wallpaper in an old Victorian house after his Liverpool transfer flopped on the deadline day. The poor guy made it halfway through the Liverpool medical when it turned out Palace preferred to keep their captain over a coach who might run off faster than a cat at bath time. Even though Guehi is putting on a brave face with England’s squad, insiders say he’s as happy as a cat at a dog show about missing out on Anfield. Big clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich are now eyeing Guehi like he’s the last donut at an office meeting, and Liverpool might have to cough up some cash in January.
Meanwhile, over at Villa, Harvey Elliott stunned everyone by claiming the No. 9 jersey, which is usually worn by those mythical striker creatures who actually score goals. Moving to Aston Villa after seeing more Anfield benches than the stadium’s janitor, Elliott hopes this switch will kickstart his career like a supercharged toddler on a sugar rush. His move to Villa is initially on loan, but there’s an obligation to purchase, so expect to see him in more claret and blue gear than a confused chameleon. Plus, Elliott might hit the pitch in the new season when Villa faces Everton—what a way to announce a comeback, right?
