“They’ll revisit that offer…”: Tottenham expected to return for 24-year-old target in summer

Marc Guehi has recently been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, and the North London club tried to sign him during the January transfer window.

Tottenham failed with an offer of around £70 million to get the deal done, but former scout Mick Brown expects them to return for the England International at the end of the season.

“I expect they’ll revisit that offer in the summer, they won’t give up,” he told Football Insider.

“Guehi is a wanted man, Newcastle wanted him last summer and now Tottenham are after him.

“Tottenham need a centre-back and he’s the ideal option there.

“He’s as stable as there is at the back, he’s a regular starter for England now, and he can go under the radar at time at Crystal Palace.

“He plays at a solid level every week and is consistently impressive, so a few clubs have been looking at him.

“Palace rejected their offer not because of the fee but because of the timing of it, which I understand completely, it’s a perfectly reasonable stance for them to take.

“But in the summer, that could change, and I think Tottenham will come back in with a new offer.”

The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the league’s best defenders and could prove to be a quality acquisition for Tottenham.

They need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, and the Crystal Palace star could transform them at the back. He could form a solid partnership with the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven. He is well-settled in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact. It will be interesting to see if Spurs come back with an improved offer in the summer.

Selling a key player like Guehi midway through the season would have been a devastating blow for Palace, and it is no surprise that the Eagles turned down the offer. They might be more receptive to transfer at the end of the season when they will have plenty of time to replace the defender.

The player is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining a bigger club and Tottenham could be an interesting opportunity for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
