Tottenham closely monitoring situation of Premier League defender; Liverpool and Manchester United also after him

Tottenham Hotspur are ‘closely monitoring’ Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, eyeing a potential summer transfer.

However, Spurs face competition for the England international, who are currently playing in the Euros.

According to the Daily Mail, Guehi has drawn interest from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool, as they seek to reinforce their defences for the upcoming season.

The 23-year-old, whose contract with Palace runs until June 2026, has become a pivotal player for both his club and country.

Guehi impressed in England’s 0-1 victory over Serbia in the opening group game of the Euros, completing 51 out of 53 passes with a 96% accuracy rate.

Additionally, he won all his ground duels, made four recoveries and made two clearances, showcasing his solid defensive skills. (FotMob)

Guehi’s performance mirrors his strong showing last season with Crystal Palace. Despite suffering a knee injury that sidelined him for nearly three months, he managed to make 25 Premier League appearances, starting 23 of those games and even captaining the team in several matches.

Currently, Guehi is concentrating on England’s Euro 2024 campaign in Germany, delaying any decisions about his club future.

However, once the tournament ends, Palace are expected to explore options for extending his contract to ward off interest from clubs like Tottenham.

Tottenham are looking to sign another centre-back this summer with Ange recently emphasising on the need to further bolster the defence.

However, considering Romero and Micky van de Ven’s performance last season, they are likely to remain Ange’s preferred partnership at the back. This will make any top quality player think twice before joining them as they would want assurance over regular playing time.
