      England star Marc Guehi idolised John Terry after Chelsea upbringing and is tipped to return from Euros to bigger things

      by

      MARC GUEHI’S assured start to life in the spotlight of a major tournament should not come as a shock.The Crystal Palace star put in a fine display against Serbia to dispel concerns over whether he could hack it alongside John Stones.Marc Guehi impressed in England’s 1-0 win over SerbiaCredit: GettySeveral clubs have an interest in the Palace centre-backCredit: GettyGuehi (right) was part of a star-studded Chelsea youth side alongside the likes of Conor Gallager ans Reece JamesBut those who have been watching his rise from the Chelsea academy, via Swansea, Selhurst Park and the England Under-21s have seen it all before.It is why staff at Palace were so confident during the season that, come June, they would have a starting England defender in their ranks.The class and composure was there when Palace’s sporting director, Dougie Freedman, first spotted the defender playing in Chelsea’s famed academy.It stems from someone who, from the age of five when he joined up with Cray Wanderers, has been dedicated to defending.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLGuehi was never the most talented boy at Cray, or even Chelsea, but understood his role in incredible detail and, even as a young child, never got caught up chasing the ball further down the pitch but stay focused on keeping a clean sheet. That has never changed. One Palace source told SunSport: “He just wants to defend, he absolutely loves it.”There were worries that, being four inches shorter than the man he has replaced in Harry Maguire, Guehi’s stature would be a problem.However, given a robust test by towering and powerful Serbian forwards, the former Swansea man passed with flying colours.Most read in Euro 2024EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSHis reading of the game has stood out to every coach who has worked with Guehi or scout who has watched him.The 23-year-old, who was born in the Ivory Coast before moving to England at one and idolised John Terry as a kid, still works endlessly on studying positioning and reading the game and it shows in his performances.Jude Bellingham reacts to match winning England display in euro 2024 opener against SerbiaGuehi, who is best mates with Three Lions team-mate Conor Gallagher, is rarely flustered or caught out and it was notable he finished the game in Gelsenkirchen with few marks on his white England shorts – always a sign of an assured defender.It is that calm presence which has seen Guehi rise quickly as a young player, overcoming struggles during his loan on Swansea which saw him dropped from the squad altogether.His quiet but determined attitude is what convinced Under-21s boss Lee Carsley – followed by Patrick Vieira and Roy Hodgson at Palace – to hand him the captain’s armband.John Terry is idolised by Marc GuehiCredit: AFPCarsley said earlier this season: “The way he conducts himself on and off the pitch, he is a brilliant influence on the players.”He is very good on the ball, excellent in possession.”He deserved to be captain. We didn’t have him that long, he moved through the system quite quickly which is brilliant.”Seeing him play week in, week out he deserves it.”He deserves everything he gets because he is a brilliant lad and works so hard.”Guehi is a considered leader in the changing room, not brash and loud but quiet and controlled. He keeps his head on the pitch and chooses his words carefully off it – meaning team-mates pay attention when he has something to say.It has been a remarkable rise, and those watching on from Palace – who included proud chairman Steve Parish inside the stadium in Germany – will feel this is just the start.There is an acceptance in South London that they may well lose Guehi to bigger and better things once he returns from Euro 2024.READ MORE SUN STORIESThat has often been the club’s plan, recruit well and sell after a solid three years. If that plan is to be put into action this summer – the asking price will have just climbed up once again.How England rated vs Serbia… as Bellingham shines but TWO big names get 5s
      JUDE BELLINGHAM was England’s head boy as Gareth Southgate’s side made a winning start in Germany.
      The Real Madrid superstar oozed class throughout and broke the deadlock with only 13 minutes played thanks to an excellent header, dispatching Bukayo Saka’s deflected cross.
      But, despite the brilliant start, it was a nervy affair here in Gelsenkirchen.
      Serbia exerted significant pressure in the second half, with a few narrow escapes for Southgate’s men.
      Harry Kane barely had a kick and the Premier League’s player of the year Phil Foden struggled to have any influence on the left of the Three Lions’ front three.
      Here’s how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated England’s stars… with TWO stars getting just a 5.

Below SunSport gives it verdict on how they should deal with the Red Devils flops this summer.
      Andre Onana – STAY: After a dodgy start at Old Trafford Onana has proven to be one of the more reliable members of the squad this season despite being peppered with shots constantly.
      Altay Bayindir – GO: Reports in February suggested Bayindir was unhappy with his bit part role at Man Utd amid interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. If profit can be made on a sale then it should be done.
      Tom Heaton – STAY: Veteran goalkeeper Heaton, 38, is a reliable back-up and is on a relatively small wage at the club. So long as he is happy it makes sense to keep him.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka – GO: Wan-Bissaka, 26, has never managed to make the right-back position his own. With his contract up in 2025 it makes sense to cash in now.
      Diogo Dalot – STAY: Dalot, 26, has been one of Man Utd’s most consistent performers this season.
      Raphael Varane – GO: If it wasn’t for his injury record there would be a strong shout to keep Varane, but costs need to be cut to allow the squad to be freshened up.
      Harry Maguire – GO: Maguire has showed he has the right character to be at Man Utd but overall ability and desired profile are another matter, with Maguire too slow to play in a high line defence.
      Lisandro Martinez – STAY: Martinez, 26, is second to none in terms of build up play. He needs a long-term defensive partner on the right side and to cut out the injuries which have plagued him this season.
      Jonny Evans – GO: Veteran campaigner Evans could easily be on the stay list if he was only going to be a bit part player. But he has shown his advanced years at times this season.
      Victor Lindelof – GO:  Lindelof, 29, has been reliable if not unremarkable in his Man Utd career. He has one year left on his contract so should be moved on if a decent transfer fee can be got for him.
      Willy Kambwala – STAY: He should be given the opportunity to mature for a few years behind a senior CB pairing before stepping into the first team as a starter or being moved on.
      Luke Shaw – GO: One of the Premier League’s best left-backs when fit, Shaw has been a good servant when available. But alas that has been his Achilles heel once again this season.
      Tyrell Malacia – STAY: Malacia, 24, was decent enough to earn some merit in his first season at Man Utd before injury ended his season and inadvertently led to his second season being a write off.
      Sofyan Amrabat – GO: Amrabat, 27, looked like a world beater at the Qatar World Cup with Morocco. But he’s had an underwhelming season in England and his loan spell will almost certainly not be made permanent.
      Casemiro – GO: An alarming physical decline has seen him turn from key star to burden. If a club is willing to buy the 32-year-old – who has two more years on his contract – then United should snatch their hand off.
      Christian Eriksen – GO: Eriksen proved a useful asset and Ineos should look to bring in another player with similar traits, but frankly his legs have looked gone towards the end of this season.
      Kobbie Mainoo – STAY: The first of the so-called untouchables, Mainoo has been a rare glimmer of hope in the Red Devils midfield this season.
      Mason Mount – STAY: Mount can be given the benefit of the doubt until summer 2025 at least after a debut season riddled with injury.
      Scott McTominay – STAY: McTominay, 27, has proven himself to be a brilliant plan B off the bench this season, and that is exactly why Ineos should look to keep him.
      Bruno Fernandes – STAY: Man Utd’s best player since his arrival just over four years ago, Fernandes, 29, remains second-to-none when it comes to creating chances while his tenacity boosts those around him.
      Antony – GO: There’s a case to argue that Antony may be the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history. Despite some memorable moments he simply isn’t Man Utd quality.
      Anthony Martial – GO: Ultimately Martial needs to be let go when his deal runs out this summer after an appalling injury record of late.
      Marcus Rashford – STAY: As easy as it would be to say Rashford should leave the club this summer, it is difficult to look at the market and find many available players capable of scoring 30 goals a season.
      Alejandro Garnacho – STAY: Another third of the untouchables trio, Garnacho has made the right-wing his own since coming into it. He’s a raw talent but has shown he has the quality to improve.
      Rasmus Hojlund – STAY: A slow burner in his first Man Utd season, the 21-year-old has often been starved of supply which has led to him being unable to get the goals his movement and unselfish play often merits.
      Amad Diallo – STAY: In the fleeting moments he has been on the pitch for Man Utd this season, Diallo has looked dangerous and exciting. He should be given a chance to flourish with some proper chances in the first team across a whole season.

      United have now identified their alternative targets in the position, though.Toney scored four goals in 17 Premier League appearances for Brentford last term after returning from his betting ban.Who’s left in the running to be next Man Utd manager?The 28-year-old’s form was also enough to earn him a place in the Three Lions squad for Euro 2024.As for David, only Kylian Mbappe scored more than his 19 Ligue 1 goals for Lille.Elsewhere, Zirkzee scored 11 and added five assists in a slightly deeper role for Bologna as they qualified for the Champions League.THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..The Sun is your go to destination for the best football, boxing and MMA news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.Like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheSunFootball and follow us from our main Twitter account at @TheSunFootball.

      Arsenal suffer transfer blow as Benjamin Sesko ‘decides to STAY at RB Leipzig with gentlemen’s agreement in place’

      by

      ARSENAL have been dealt a huge transfer blow after it was firstly claimed that they “held the upper hand” in the chase for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old Slovenian striker is currently preparing to face England in the Euro 2024 group stages.Arsenal are allegedly in pole position to sign RB Leipzig’s Benjamin SeskoCredit: GettyHe has a host of top clubs chasing his services after he fired 23 goals for club and country last term.A report emerged last week that three of the Premier League’s biggest teams are battling it out for the signature of the Bundesliga ace this summer.Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all determined to strengthen their front line before the start of next term.They all want Sesko – who has a release clause of £55.3m – while Newcastle have also joined the long-list of admirers.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLBut one giant appears to be leading the chase.The NY Times states that “the feeling among those interested parties” is “that Arsenal are in pole position” to sign him.The chasing pack “would like clarity on the situation” before the European Championship begins on Friday.However, even though they know that his price tag will not be inflated should he have a golden summer for Slovenia in Germany due to the release clause, no-one wants any potential deal to drag on.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSAnd that could be good news for Arsenal.There is a belief among the English clubs that Mikel Arteta’s men allegedly “hold the upper hand because they can offer Champions League football and stability”.How Arsenal’s 180-page dossiers on transfer targets have led to outstanding recruitmentThey are two things he and his camp feel are “lacking at Chelsea and United”.But “there is a very real possibility Sesko will opt to stay at Leipzig”.And this fresh report claims that “is more of a threat to Arsenal’s hopes than him electing to move elsewhere in the Premier League”.Now transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has added more weight to that claim by stating that the player will be going nowhere.PLAY DREAM TEAM EUROS NOW!The best fantasy football game for this summer’s tournament.

      ARSENAL are stepping up plans to sign a world-class striker in the summer after their Champions League heartbreak.
      Mikel Arteta splashed out £204.5m last summer on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
      But the Spanish manager accepts he needs a proven goalscorer to take the club to the next level.
      And here are the players he is looking at to get the Gunners firing:
      BENJAMIN SESKO (RB Leipzig, value £40m-£45m)
      One for the future at 20 years old. Scored 16 goals for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and the Slovenian has carried on that good form in Germany with Leipzig this campaign.
      VIKTOR GYOKERES (Sporting Lisbon, value £60m-£80m)
      Been scouted several times this season. The Swedish striker, 25, is more of a traditional No 9 so may not suit Arsenal’s demand for flexibility but would bring a physicality that boss Mikel Arteta craves.
      ALEXANDER ISAK (Newcastle, value £75m-£85m)
      Impressed in his first two seasons in English football. The Swede, 24, has the pace and finesse to match his finishing ability, and Eddie Howe’s Toon may need to sell to balance the books this summer.
      JOSHUA ZIRKZEE (Bologna, value £45m-£50m)
      Dutch wonder  is attracting the attentions of clubs across Europe. At 6ft 4in the 22-year-old forward would have no trouble adapting to the Premier League and already has an eye for goal.
      XAVI SIMONS (RB Leipzig, value £70m-£80m)
      An incredible talent in the Bukayo Saka mould, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The future of the Dutch attacker, 20, depends on how much money his parent club want to make from him. More
