Liverpool summer transfer target Marc Guehi has delivered a three-word response to what has been a busy few days for the defender.
Guehi saw a deadline day deal to Liverpool fall through at the last minute at the start of the month.
He didn’t have time to dwell on the situation having quickly joined the England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia. Guehi started both games as the Three Lions continued their 100 percent record in qualification for next summer’s tournament in North America under Thomas Tuchel.
The 5-0 win over Serbia in Belgrade also saw Guehi reach a milestone with him turning in Declan Rice’s free kick to make score England’s fourth goal. It was the defender’s first international strike.
Following the full-time whistle, the player was interviewed by ITV Sport. When asked by the interviewer how the last eight days have been, a big smile came onto his face, and he responded with: “It’s been great.”
He was then asked about coming into the England camp following the failed move, to which he said: “It’s always easy coming here, we’ve got such a good group of players, good group of staff. We’re working towards one goal, so it’s really enjoyable and always good to be here.”
