One Liverpool participant was the topic of deadline day curiosity from a number of golf equipment earlier this week, however he stays at Anfield for now.
With Alexander Isak’s transfer being all however confirmed on Sunday evening, it meant that the ultimate hours of the switch window have been centred largely across the Reds’ pursuit of Marc Guehi, which was in the end sabotaged by Crystal Palace’s late determination to not promote their captain.
By way of outgoings, there had been curiosity from Brighton in Joe Gomez because the deadline approached, and it seems that the Seagulls weren’t alone in hoping to safe a last-gasp transfer for the 28-year-old.
Gomez ‘in no rush to depart’ Liverpool
Talking on Soccer Insider’s Inside Observe podcast, Pete O’Rourke named three golf equipment who’d made a last-ditch try and try to signal the Liverpool defender, who’s content material to stay at Anfield for now however may once more be the topic of switch curiosity in January.
The journalist outlined: “There’ll be a number of dominoes to fall doubtlessly, for Joe Gomez to depart Anfield. The factor is with Joe Gomez is that he’s completely happy at Liverpool and he’s in no rush to depart.
“It’s no shock that golf equipment like AC Milan have been Gomez – they have been trying to herald a brand new centre-back. There was even curiosity from Brighton late on within the window and Palace had him on their listing as properly in the event that they did lose Guehi.
“I wouldn’t be stunned if there’s curiosity in Joe Gomez in January, however loads will rely upon how issues are going at Liverpool.”
Gomez remains to be vastly invaluable to Liverpool
Even had the Reds succeeded in signing Guehi final Monday, it could’ve absolutely come too late within the day to sanction an exit for Gomez, who’s simply begun his eleventh season at Anfield and definitely wouldn’t have been allowed to depart with out one other centre-back coming in.
The 28-year-old is more likely to proceed taking part in a backup function to Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, however his worth to Liverpool was evident in his excellent efficiency off the bench to assist see out the slim win over Arsenal six days in the past.
The ever-professional Londoner appears content material with supplementing the first-choice partnership and remaining affected person for game-time, but when FSG have been to return in for Guehi within the winter, which may viably immediate a rethink from our quantity 2.
If we do finally succeed with buying the Palace captain, that might be the immediate for Gomez to hunt a recent problem elsewhere, however relaxation assured that no one at Anfield shall be dashing him out the door.
In the meanwhile, we’re very glad to nonetheless have the 28-year-old on Merseyside. Even when his involvement over the subsequent few months is sporadic, it appears a on condition that he received’t let Liverpool down every time he’s referred to as upon – that has been the case over the previous decade.
