Guehi credits family, Swansea for Palace starring role

Gulf Today

August 24, 2025

Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi known jokingly as 'Uncle Marc' by his family is reportedly being eyed by Premier League champions Liverpool and he told the BBC the “turning point” for him was a loan spell at Swansea.

The 25-year-old central defender — born in the Ivory Coast but whose family moved to England when he was one — has attracted Liverpool's attention with commanding performances.

He was pivotal in both Palace's remarkable FA Cup win over Manchester City last season and then in the Community Shield a fortnight ago, in which Palace beat Liverpool on penalties.

The England international — who credits his church minister father John for sacrificing a lot in driving him as a youngster to play in matches — says the two-year stint at Swansea (2019-21) gave him the experience and hard knocks he required to succeed at the top level.
