Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéhi, typically referred to as Marc Guehi, is an Ivorian-born English professional footballer who plays for English Premier League club Crystal Palace. On the International level, he represents England's men's national team and has solidified himself as a key player for both club and country. Showing tremendous performances in recent years, Guehi has secured a place in the ranks amongst the most elite defenders in English football. Just like numerous talented players, the defender had also graduated from the renowned Chelsea academy, Cobham.
He progressed through the ranks of Chelsea youth and won multiple trophies at the youth level, such as the FA Youth Cup, English Youth League and Under-17 FIFA World Cup with the Three Lions. Ever since his youth days, he was a standout figure in defence, displaying his commanding leadership, ball-playing ability, composure and defensive prowess. Marc is the current captain of the Eagles and led his side to clinch a remarkable 2025 English FA Cup, followed by the Community Shield success after beating Liverpool on penalties. In this overview, we are about to explore Marc Guehi personal aspects, biography, net worth, early life, salary, contract details and more.
Despite coming through the Chelsea academy, he had only made two appearances for the Blues, but found his charm at fellow London club Crystal Palace. The English international is an integral part of the Palace team as a leader, captain and defender. Notably, in the summer 2025 transfer window, he had nearly joined the Premier League champions Liverpool for a £35million deal. However, the transfer fell off on the deadline day, which suggests, Marc Guehi is likely to spend the 2025-26 season in London. In 2021, following a brief spell with Swansea City, he moved to Selhurst Park on a five-year deal and earned his recognition for being one of the best defenders in England. For the Eagles, the defender has made over 160 appearances and helped them claim two major silverwares, leading them as their skipper.
