Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of the Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.
According to former Spurs scout Mick Brown, they are very keen on the player.
“Tottenham are very interested in Marc Guehi,” he told Football Insider.
“They’ve got a certain instability at centre-back and it’s an issue they want to deal with.
“They see Van de Ven as their top option in that position, but from what I hear they’re not quite so sure about Romero, and he could be leaving.
“Guehi doesn’t have those same question marks about his performances.
“He’s ultra-consistent, you could put your bank balance on him giving you a good display every week.”
The defender could be tempted to join
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from Crystal Palace in recent weeks, and he will look to join a big club capable of fighting for trophies.
Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they will be an attractive destination for the England international defender.
Marc Guehi to replace Romero?
He is one of the best players in his position in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham. Cristian Romero is expected to leave the club this summer, and Spurs will have to replace him adequately.
Signing one of the best defenders in the Premier League would be ideal. It will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with Crystal Palace. They have tried to sign the player in January, but they were quoted a substantial asking price. The defender is entering the last year of his contract soon, and he could be available for a more reasonable amount of money this summer.
Guehi is well-settled in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact if he joins the club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
