Marc Guehi confirmed his move to Manchester City after two trophy‑laden seasons with Crystal Palace. The 25‑year‑old centre‑back helped Palace lift the FA Cup in May, then the Community Shield against Liverpool. In a candid chat with BBC Sport’s Kelly Somers, he reflected on his journey from Sunday league to the Premier League.

Guehi credited a loan spell at Swansea City for sharpening his mental edge, recalling advice from veterans Wayne Routledge and Nathan Dyer. He emphasized faith, saying God’s grace and his parents’ sacrifices kept him grounded. The defender also joked about his “troll” reputation at home, where he still lives with his sisters.

Looking ahead, Guehi aims to extend his career into his forties, hoping City’s defensive stability will boost his England prospects. Observers will watch whether his versatility translates into regular national‑team starts under the new manager. Off the pitch, he enjoys music, DJ‑learning and reading, with Fahrenheit 451 topping his book list.
