Journalist Dean Jones wrote in his column for GiveMeSport last week that Guehi is one of several central defenders that Tottenham are tracking.

He explained that while Spurs remain admirers of the England international, they are aware that his price tag will be ‘sky-high’ and any offer for him is unlikely to be accepted by Crystal Palace at the moment.

Arsenal are also keen on Spurs target Marc Guehi

According to The Sun, Arsenal are also ‘huge admirers’ of the Palace star, with Mikel Arteta viewing the defender as part of his long-term plans.

The outlet states the Eagles are not likely to offload Guehi in January and that the Gunners are ‘willing and happy to wait’ as they expect an ‘auction’ for the player next summer.

The report asserts that Palace will demand a ‘huge fee’ for the 23-year-old and are relaxed about the situation as they expect ‘massive offers’ to come their way next summer.

Finally, the publication asserts that Chelsea and Man Utd could also make a move for Guehi, with the Blues having a right to match any bid that Palace accept for the Cobham graduate.

Spurs Web Opinion

Geuhi is undoubtedly the best young English defender at the moment and there is no doubt that he will be attracting plenty of interest ahead of next summer. 

I would be surprised if Tottenham get involved in a bidding war as the 23-year-old could end up costing upwards of £60m or £70m if he keeps playing as well as he is.

Unsurprisingly, Jones claims that strengthening at centre-back is one of Tottneham’s priorities in January, with Eric Dier being the only other senior centre-back at Ange Postecoglou’s disposal apart from the two current starters.

Tottenham are looking at four centre-back options

The journalist says that Lloyd Kelly remains a ‘serious’ target and that Spurs have made ‘detailed checks’ on the Bournemouth star ahead of January, with his current deal with the Cherries set to expire next summer.

He reveals that the North London club have also made checks on Trevoh Chalobah, who the Lilywhites consider ‘an intriguing option’.

Jones asserts that Tottenham are also eyeing Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, who has been on their radar for a while.

He says that while Spurs remain admirers of the England international, they are aware that his price tag will be ‘sky-high’ and any offer for him is unlikely to be accepted by Crystal Palace at the moment.

Finally, Jones adds that Borussia Monchengladbach’s Ko Itakura has also impressed members of the Spurs recruitment team and that he will be monitored when he returns from injury.

Spurs Web Opinion

Out of these four, Kelly would be the most straightforward deal to complete, given his contract situation. Considering how well Van de Ven and Romero are playing, we will likely pursue someone like the Cherries star as a backup rather than a big-name defender like Guehi who would expect to start.

The post Report: Tottenham are watching four centre-backs ahead of January appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Tottenham’s issues at centre-back are well documented, with Eric Dier being the only senior central defender that Ange Postecoglou could turn to if there is an injury to either Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven.

Unsurprisingly, reports over the last few weeks have indicated that signing a centre-back is one of the priorities for Spurs and their new technical director, Johan Lange, in January (CaughtOffisde).

Spurs move for Eze and Guehi would be expensive

If Fichajes’ latest update is to be believed, one of the names on Tottenham’s radar is Guehi, who has had an impressive start to the season and has been a regular in Gareth Southgate’s England squads.

The report states that the 23-year-old’s ability on the ball and his proficiency in duals make him an attractive target for Spurs and other Premier League clubs. The outlet alleges that his teammate, Eze, is also a player that Ange Posteocglou’s men have their eye on.

However, the publication adds that Tottenham are not the only ones interested in the Palace duo, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United also monitoring them.

Fichajes assert that the Eagles would consider any ‘attractive offers’ that come their way for Guehi and Eze in January.

Spurs Web Opinion

I suspect Tottenham’s interest in Eze would have ended when we got a deal for Brennan Johnson over the line as it seemed like the club wanted to sign one of the two in the summer.

There is no doubt that Guehi will make a big move sooner rather than later and I expect a bidding war to ensue for the 23-year-old next summer if not in January. 

The post Report: Tottenham interested in signing duo from PL side in January  appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

It has been widely reported for the last few months that Guehi is one of the centre-backs on Tottenham’s radar this summer.

The latest such update came on July 5 from London World, who claimed that the centre-back ticks ‘all the boxes’ for Spurs, given his age, homegrown status and Premier League experience.

The publication asserted that it would take a fee of around £60m to lure the England international away from Selhurst Park this summer, and added that Arsenal were also eyeing a move for the 23-year-old.

Chelsea could now enter the picture for Marc Guehi

The Guardian have now revealed that Chelsea could also consider re-signing Guehi after Wesley Fofana underwent surgery on a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

The report explains that the Blues could now be forced to enter the market for a centre-back and that they have the right to match bids from other clubs for the Palace star.

The outlet adds that neither Spurs nor Arsenal have made a move for the England international so far, although both clubs continue to monitor the player’s situation.

Spurs Web Opinion

The one advantage Spurs could have over Arsenal and Chelsea is that they can convince Guehi that he would have a much better shot at being a regular starter in N17 than he would at either of those two clubs.

That will surely be taken into consideration by the 23-year-old, particularly with the European Championship now not far away.

The post Report: Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal are looking at same Premier League 23-year-old appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

A lot has been said and written about Tottenham’s pursuit of a left-sided centre-back over the past few weeks, with Tapsoba thought to be near the top of the club’s wishlist.

In fact, Fabrizio Romano reported on Friday morning that the Leverkusen star remains Spurs’ top centre-back target ahead of Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven, with Ange Postecolgou’s men alleged to be continuing talks over a deal for the 24-year-old.

Meanwhile, Guehi also continues to be linked with a move to Spurs, with London World claiming on Wednesday that Palace had put a £60m price tag on the defender amidst interest from Tottenham.

The report added that the England international ‘ticks a lot of boxes’ for the Lilywhites, being young, homegrown and proven in the Premier League.

Spurs and Arsenal looking at Tapsoba and Guehi

However, Jones has now asserted that both Guehi and Tapsoba are also on Mikel Arteta’s wishlist.

The journalist wrote in his column for GiveMeSport about Arsenal: “Across the back line they have also shown a fondness for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi. Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, RB Leipzig’s Mohamed Simakan and – to a lesser degree – Perr Schuurs at Torino.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It is quite clear at the moment that Arsenal’s top centre-back target is Jurrien Timber and their efforts are focused on getting a deal for the Ajax star over the line.

So, I do not think Spurs would need to worry too much about competition from their North London rivals for Tapsoba or Guehi.

The post Arsenal are interested in two of Spurs’ reported centre-back targets – Journalist claims appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Spurs are set to make wholesale changes at centre-back ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge (Football.London).

If some reports over the last few days are to be believed, Tottenham appear to be on the verge of strengthening the position, with The Athletic claiming on Tuesday that the Lilywhites are confident of winning the race for Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven.

Guehi is another young centre-back rumoured to be on Spurs’ radar, with Alasdair Gold stating on his YouTube channel two weeks ago that the North London club ‘love’ the 22-year-old and hold a ‘massive interest’ in him.

Crystal Palace want a big fee for Guehi this summer

London World have now also backed up Spurs’ interest in Guehi, claiming that the centre-back ticks ‘all the boxes’ for Postecoglou’s men, given his age, homegrown status and Premier League experience.

However, the publication asserts that it would take a fee of around £60m to lure the England international away from Selhurst Park this summer.

The report adds that Arsenal are also eyeing Guehi as a backup to William Saliba but as things stand, no club has made contact with Palace regarding the centre-back.

London World add that while Roy Hodgson’s men are not desperate to sell the former Chelsea man this summer, a big offer for the player might be ‘too good to turn down’.

Spurs Web Opinion 

Spending £50m-£60m on Guehi would arguably be a very sound investment as the centre-back would instantly improve our backline, having had a couple of years of Premier League experience under his belt.

The 22-year-old could potentially give a decade of service to Tottenham and evidently possess leadership qualities.

The 22-year-old featured for England in their 4-0 win over Malta last week and it could only be a matter of time before he establishes himself as a regular in Gareth Southgate’s starting eleven.

It was reported by Football Transfers last month that Guehi is one of the centre-backs on Tottenham’s radar this summer, with the report alleging that the Palace star fits the profile of defender that the Lilywhites are after.

Tottenham’s interest in the former Chelsea man was also backed up by GiveMeSport last week but the outlet asserted that Ange Postecoglou’s men could face competition from Arsenal for the player.

Tottenham love Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi

Gold has now explained that Guehi is one of the centre-backs that Tottenham like the most but explained that the player also has plenty of other suitors.

The journalist said on his YouTube channel: “I know, and I’ve reported this before, and I know this is very much still the case. They love Marc Guehi. The Crystal Palace and England defender, he’s only 22, he’s a terrific player and he’s had a terrific season too. 

“From what I understand Spurs still have a massive interest in him, they really like him, but the problem is that so do most of the top clubs in England.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi is likely to cost upward of £50m this summer since he still has three years left on his contract at Selhurst Park.

However, there is no doubt that it would be money well spent as the 22-year-old can be the leader of our backline for the best part of a decade and is also homegrown.

Gold says that the expectation at Tottenham is that several centre-backs will be moved on, with Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon set to leave while Japhet Tanganga’s future at the club is also in doubt.

The journalist adds that Postecoglou is expected to look at Eric Dier during pre-season before making a decision on his future.

It is explained that Tottenham are looking for a couple of new centre-backs this summer to play both the left and right-sided roles.

Ange Postecoglou is said to prefer defenders who are brave on the ball, strong in duals and have the mobility to play in a high line.

Tottenham are looking at Guehi, Kilman, and Laporte

Gold reveals that Tottenham are ‘big admirers’ of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi but he says that the club have not substantiated their interest in the 22-year-old as of yet and are likely to face plenty of competition for the England international if they do so.

The journalist asserts that Wolves’ Max Kilman is also on Spurs’ radar while the North London club are continuing to watch Aymeric Laporte’s situation at Manchester City.

Finally, Gold adds that Tottenham have not ruled out the possibility of signing Clement Lenglet permanently from Barcelona this summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

Even if Tottenham bring in two central defenders this summer, we would likely not sell all four of Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga, and Dier as we will be left short of options in the area.

I suspect that Postecoglou would decide to keep Dier as a squad player for the time being before upgrading on him in January or next summer.

The 22-year-old has now made 82 appearances for Palace (Transfermarkt), but there has long been speculation that his future lies away from Selhurst Park.

Spurs are thought to be in the market for a new centre-back this summer (90 Min). According to GiveMeSport, the North London club may well look at Marc Guehi as an answer to their defensive issues.

It has previously been reported by Football Transfers that the young defender fits the profile of what Tottenham would be looking for in a centre-half.

Price tag is putting Tottenham off Marc Guehi

Now, the latest update on Tottenham Hotspur’s plans for the summer comes from Football.London, who reveal exactly why Spurs have not tried to sign Guehi before.

Apparently, Tottenham were keen on Guehi last summer and “that remains the case” as we enter another transfer window.

However, when it comes to making that interest more official, Spurs have been deterred, with the “main issue” thought to be the “competition for [Guehi’s] signature” and the fact that Palace would demand a “huge fee” for their star defender.

The report adds that Guehi has “suitors among most of the top teams in the Premier League.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Marc Guehi is a fantastic defender and someone I would love to see in a Spurs shirt.

He won’t come cheap, and there will be a long line of teams wanting to sign him, but we should definitely try to make this happen.

I can’t see it coming to fruition this summer, but maybe next year it will be more feasible.

The publication claimed that Manchester United’s Harry Maguire was at the top of the Lilywhites’ wishlist while Manchester City’s Aymeric Laporte and Wolves’ Max Kilman are the others on the club’s radar.

Spurs expected to take a good look at Marc Guehi

GiveMeSport have now stated that Tottenham’s interest in Maguire is ‘genuine’ but they claim that he is not the only English centre-back that Spurs are looking at.

The publication reveals that Spurs are also eyeing Maguire’s international teammate, Guehi, asserting that Postecoglou’s men are expected to ‘thoroughly look into’ the Palace star.

It is explained that while the 22-year-old is also admired by Arsenal, Spurs have the upper hand over their local rivals as they would be able to offer the youngster regular first-team football.

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi fits the mould for Postecoglou much better than Maguire does as the Spurs head coach prefers working with young, up-and-coming players.

While the Palace star would likely end up costing a little more than the Man Utd star this summer, he would command a lot less in wages than the 30-year-old.

Another Premier League centre-half thought to be on Spurs’ radar is Guehi, with Football Transfers reporting last month that the Palace star’s versatility and his homegrown status make him an appealing option for the Lilywhites.

The report alleged that Tottenham were at the front of the queue for the England international but are only willing to bid £45m while the Eagles value the player at £65m.

Jones believes that the one advantage Spurs will have over other suitors for Guehi is that the 22-year-old would be prioritising regular football ahead of next summer’s European Championship.

Spurs may have upper hand in Marc Guehi race

The journalist told GiveMeSport: “The Harry Maguire interest is of course going to make headlines because of who he is and where his reputation is right now, but he is not the only option out there by any means.

“One of the other Premier League ones we should expect them to thoroughly look into is that of Marc Guehi.

“He is also admired by Arsenal, but Spurs might have the edge on them in terms of being able to offer regular first-team football, which is going to be vital in a season that leads into the European Championship as he will aim to be part of that England squad.”

Spurs Web Opinion

While Guehi would be considerably more expensive than Maguire, paying around £60m for the Palace star would still represent better value for money, given that he is only 22.

Geuhi is also much better suited to playing in a high line than the Man Utd star.

The Daily Mail reported at the start of this month that the Lilywhites could face competition from their North London rivals for Geuhi while Foot Mercato subsequently claimed last week that the centre-back had also emerged as a target for Man Utd.

If Jones’ latest update is to be believed, Spurs and Arsenal now appear set to go head-to-head for the Palace star’s signature this summer.

The journalist reveals that the Gunners are keen to bolster their options in central defence and have now identified the former Chelsea man as ‘a prime candidate’ to replace Rob Holding.

It is alleged that Mikel Arteta’s men expect to face competition from Spurs for Guehi, who is thought to be valued in excess of £50m by the Eagles.

Spurs Web Opinion

Realistically, it is going to be difficult for Spurs to beat Arsenal (or Man Utd) to Guehi’s signature this summer, given that we are not in any European competitions next season.

I fear that our poor ends to the season would make several of our rumoured targets, including the likes of Guehi and Maddison, to have some doubts regarding whether it would be the right move for them.

Football Transfers were the first to report back in March that Tottenham are keen on the 22-year-old, with the Lilywhites said to believe the Palace star is a perfect fit for the profile of defender they are looking for.

The report added that the North London club were at the front of the queue for the England international’s signature ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Daily Mail also reported at the start of this month that Spurs had their eye on the Palace star and suggested that they could face competition for the player from their fierce rivals, Arsenal.

Foot Mercato have now also reported on Tottenham’s interest in Guehi but the French publication suggests that the club’s main competition for the former Chelsea man might come from Man Utd.

The outlet states that the Red Devils are keen on adding reinforcements in central defence and have identified the Palace star as the right fit.

It is explained that the Eagles might be open to cashing in on Geuhi this summer but the publication does not reveal what kind of fee they are expected to demand for the youngster.

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi would tick plenty of boxes for Spurs, having all the attributes to develop into a world-class defender and being homegrown.

However, it would be quite difficult to beat the likes of Man Utd and Arsenal to the 22-year-old’s signature, given that we cannot offer Champions League football.

The report added that the Lilywhites are currently leading the race for the England international’s signature.

The Mail have now also backed up Tottenham’s interest in Guehi but the publication adds that the defender’s situation is also being monitored by both Arsenal and Manchester United.

It is alleged that while Palace would be open to letting the England international leave, they would demand a minimum of £50m for his services.

The report explains that if Spurs do pay £50m for Geuhi, £10m of that fee would go into Chelsea’s coffers since the Blues inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause as part of the deal that saw the player move to Selhurst Park in 2021.

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi ticks a lot of boxes for Spurs, who need to add homegrown players to the squad and £50m is a reasonable price to pay for a player who could potentially play at the top level for another decade.

However, the decision on summer transfer targets is not likely to be finalised until a new director or a head coach is in place.

He is thought to be one of the names on Tottenham’s radar, with Football Transfers reporting back in March that the Lilywhites believe the Palace star is a perfect fit for the profile of defender they are looking for.

The report added that although Spurs are currently leading the race for the centre-back’s signature, they could face competition from Manchester United for the youngster.

The Daily Mail also subsequently backed up Tottenham’s interest in Guehi but added that their North London rivals Arsenal also have their eye on the player.

Despite being on the radar of some big clubs, Jones believes that the former Chelsea man could be convinced to stay at Selhurst Park as long as the Eagles retain their young core and make an ambitious managerial appointment.

When asked about Geuhi being linked with a move to Spurs, the journalist told GiveMeSport: “I mean, I think he will be linked with clubs.

“I’m not convinced he’s going to leave. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with the manager and what path Crystal Palace go on here because he will need to see a certain level of ambition.

“But if Palace’s top young players hang around as well, like the attacking lads, then I think Guéhi will probably be willing to stick through it a little bit longer, too.

“But it’s going to be dependent on there being that excitement factor and knowing that it’s not going to be another season like this one.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi is contracted to Palace until 2026 and so the Eagles are under no pressure to sell the defender this summer.

Besides, if the likes of Man Utd and Arsenal also show interest in the 22-year-old, it could make life quite difficult for Spurs, given that we do not have Champions League football to offer.

The report added that although Spurs are currently leading the race for the England international’s signature, they could face competition from Manchester United for the youngster.

The Mail also backed up Tottenham’s interest in Guehi but add that they might have to battle their North London rivals for the player’s signature.

It was asserted that the Gunners want to strengthen at centre-back amid concerns over William Saliba’s long-term fitness while Rob Holding’s contract is up next year.

They are thought to have identified Guehi as a potential option and are said to be keeping an eye on the defender’s situation.

When asked about Guehi, Barnes said (BonusCodeBets via Metro): “Marc Guehi would be a great signing for Arsenal and Tottenham.

“He’s been knocking on the door of the England side for a few years now. He’s English, he’s young with good technical ability on the ball and he’s quick so he’s a modern centre-back.

“He’s decent enough in the air to cope and he’s got a great attitude from what I’m led to believe. He’s a good character around the dressing room.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi certainly will not come cheap as he is contracted to Palace until 2026 and there could be a bidding war for his services this summer.

Given that we are not likely to be in the Champions League next season, it could prove quite difficult to attract someone of the 22-year-old’s quality.

A fine debut season with the Eagles last year has been followed up with a decent sophomore campaign.

Though Palace have struggled at times this season, Guehi has maintained his own personal form across 36 games in all competitions so far this term (Transfermarkt).

Having made his England debut in March 2022, Guehi has gone on to earn three caps for the national side and was recalled to the squad this March (Transfermarkt).

Guehi has been mooted as the perfect fit for Spurs (Football Transfers), and a report from the Daily Mail last month suggested the North London club would reignite their interest in the 22-year-old.

Now, a report from the Evening Standard claims Tottenham will indeed be looking to make a move for Guehi, but will need to fight off Arsenal if they are to secure his signature.

It is thought both clubs are keen to “upgrade their defence” this summer and Spurs’ “long-standing interest” in Guehi could finally lead to a transfer.

The Lilywhites are expected to “overhaul” their defence at the end of the season, but Arsenal are also thought to be concerned over a “lack of squad depth” in the centre-back area and may see Guehi as the solution.

The report adds that Guehi’s former club Chelsea would be set for a “sizeable percentage” of any future sale, and will also be offered the chance to match any offer for the player.

However, the Blues are not believed to be in the market for another centre-back.

Spurs Web Opinion

I’m a big fan of Marc Guehi and I think he would be a great signing for Spurs.

He’s young, homegrown, has shown how accomplished he is for both club and country, and clearly has a bright future ahead of him.

The Mail have now become the latest publication to report on Tottenham’s interest in Guehi ahead of the summer.

The outlet claims that the club have expressed an interest in the Palace star for the last two transfer windows and are expected to try to sign him again when the window opens.

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi would tick a lot of boxes for Spurs, given his age, his versatility and the fact that he is homegrown.

However, the 22-year-old is contracted until 2026 at Selhurst Park, which means that he is certainly not going to come cheap.

Palace could demand a fee of more than £60m for the centre-back.

Football Transfers have revealed that Spurs are now looking for a versatile centre-back who can play across the back three and have identified the Eagles star as a top target.

It is alleged that the likes of Manchester United also have their eye on Guehi but it is Spurs who are currently at the front of the queue for the defender.

However, the report asserts that Palace want £65m for the 22-year-old while Spurs only want to pay around £45m for the youngster.

Football Transfers add that the Eagles might be powerless to stop Guehi from leaving Selhurst Park this summer after parting ways with Patrick Vieira and reappointing Roy Hodgson.

Spurs Web Opinion

I suspect that Tottenham primarily identified Guehi as a target for Antonio Conte’s system.

The club’s main centre-back targets by the summer will be dictated by who they appoint as their next head coach and whether he favours playing with a back four or a back three.

The post Report: Premier League club tell Tottenham to pay £65m for centre-back appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

The Daily Mail revealed on Thursday that Spurs are expected to be in the market for two centre-backs in the summer as Clement Lenglet’s loan spell will expire and there are doubts over the future of Davinson Sanchez.

The report asserted that Guehi features prominently on Tottenham’s wishlist and that Palace could be tempted to cash in on the defender if they receive an offer upwards of £45m.

The Evening Standard have now also reported on Spurs’ interest in the Eagles star but they explain that the Blues could have an advantage over the Lilywhites if they enter the race for the England international.

This is because Graham Potter’s men are thought to have a ‘sizeable’ sell-on clause for Guehi and an option to match any offer that other clubs make for the defender.

However, the publication asserts that the centre-back’s representatives do not expect Chelsea to make a move after the West London club snapped up Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly in the last six months.

Spurs Web Opinion

Guehi fits the bill for Tottenham on several counts as he could play across the back three and has Premier League experience under his belt. The fact that he is homegrown and has high resale value means that the 22-year-old will undoubtedly rank high on Paratici’s wishlist.
