Liverpool, the leading English team, should not hesitate as Mark Gehe has become the target of two other top clubs hoping to beat them in signing him as a squad reinforcement.
On 9 Jan 2026, Liverpool, the renowned Premier League club managed by Dutch coach Arne Slot, are urged not to delay as reports indicate that Mark Gehe, the English defender from Crystal Palace, has attracted interest from two other prominent clubs aiming to secure his transfer ahead of them.
Looking back to last summer, the Anfield-based club was heavily linked with Mark Gehe, with many media outlets reporting that he was on the verge of joining the reigning Premier League champions. However, the move ultimately fell through because they could not find a replacement for this key defender in time, causing them to cancel the deal despite agreeing on the transfer fee and the player passing the medical exam. They were prepared to sign him on a free transfer next summer.
However, the two-time Premier League champions may need to revise their plans, as recent reports suggest that their league rivals Arsenal and Manchester City intend to outbid them to secure the player in the upcoming January transfer window.
