It’s been nearly a week since the transfer window opened, but there are still plenty of deals left to be made across the Premier League. Liverpool have yet to make their first move, but it appears to be on the horizon, with Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo being talked about as potential big moves. However, it appears Liverpool may have missed out on Semenho from Manchester City, who reportedly met his £65m release clause.
Semenyo will remain at the Cherries for now, but any delay could spark rumors. Liverpool will be hoping City do not scrap their bid for Guehi. The Crystal Palace star has been linked with a move to Josep Guardiola’s side after failing to make a move to Anfield on summer transfer deadline day, with City currently struggling with multiple injuries in their defence.
We bring you the latest transfer news from Anfield.
first deal closed
According to the Mirror, Liverpool are in talks to sign teenage defender Mor Ndiayi.
The 18-year-old plays for Senegalese second-division side Amitie FC, which is owned by former Newcastle United and Chelsea striker Demba Ba.
Ndiaye impressed at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar, starting all four of Senegal’s matches, which ended in their Round of 32 defeat to Uganda.
Ndiaye will strengthen Liverpool’s Under-21 defense if the move goes through, helping to fill the void left by Welty Lackey’s regular involvement in the first team.
Mark Guehi’s roller coaster continues
Amid mounting speculation over Guehi’s possible move, manager Josep Guardiola downplayed suggestions Manchester City would repeat their spending spree last January.
City brought in Omar Marmouche, Nico Gonzalez, Vitor Reis and Abdukkodir Kusanov last winter, but reports suggest the Premier League champions want to move quickly to sign Guehi, whose contract with Palace expires this summer.
A proposed move for the England centre-back to Liverpool fell through last summer, but Bayern Munich and Barcelona have also expressed interest.
Guardiola’s comments, made ahead of City’s upcoming Premier League game against Brighton, did not completely rule out January’s activities.
“Maybe we’ll get something, but it’s completely different (from last year),” he explained.
“We’re not going to go for four or five players for the (highest) net spend in the country like we did last season. We’re not like that, but that’s what we seem to be doing all the time.”
