Florent Malouda has urged his former club Chelsea to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi when the transfer window reopens in January.

Guehi looked set to join Liverpool on deadline day in the summer window after a £35m deal was agreed – but it fell through after Palace were unable to find a replacement for the England international centre-back.

Along with Liverpool, Chelsea were also rumoured to be interested in signing Guehi in the summer and Malouda feels he’d be a ‘great addition’ for Enzo Maresca’s side.

Guehi is likely to be a man in demand in January having entered the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park.

‘Marc Guehi would be a great addition for Chelsea,’ Malouda told Boyle Sports, who provide the latest Champions League betting.
