Marc Guehi’s football didn’t start at Crystal Palace. The defender came through the academy at Chelsea and had a loan spell at Swansea before joining the Eagles. The 24-year-old shared the love and appreciation he has for his current club.
“I’m really grateful to the club,” Guehi said. “This club gave me the opportunity to play in the Premier League, something so many kids dream of.
“For them to stick by me and have the belief in me is amazing, giving me the platform to develop and express myself.”
Palace chairman Steve Parish called Guehi a “superstar” and “generational talent” while discussing the possibility of selling him this summer.
“It’s humbling for someone as big as the chairman to say something like that, it’s really nice,” said Guehi. “I’m not sure I’m a superstar or generational talent but I’m really grateful for those words.”
