Alasdair Gold has shared that Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is a player that Tottenham Hotspur ‘love’, but there is a major stumbling block in signing him.
The Tottenham transfer expert added that the ‘price is too big’ to sign the 22-year-old centre-back and a lot of competition for his signature, as he told his own YouTube channel.
Marc Guehi has been a key figure for Palace in recent years and now he is an England international, as he tries to push for a starting birth under Gareth Southgate ahead of Euro 2024.
After a season of decline, which saw the team miss out on Europe and struggle in huge ways at the back, many are now calling for change to the club’s backline.
Given that there is a new manager in the house, Ange Postecoglou might just prove to be a little kinder and give those previously struggling stars another chance, even though fans don’t want that.
But if some big names are booted out, then someone like Guehi, and the road he is going down, would be an outstanding purchase, but Gold had bad news for those who would like to see him at Hotspur Way.
“There are a fair few defenders out there,” said Gold. “Marc Guehi as well. One that they love, but I think the price is just going to be so big for them and the competition for him as well.”
New centre-backs needed
Whether it’s Guehi, Edmond Tapsoba, or somebody else. At the very least, Levy needs to bring in new faces at the back to liven things up and add competition.
The crop from last season, who have been in north London for a while now, have become stale and they need replacing.
Ideally, if it was up to Spurs fans, they would boot most of them out, but Postecoglou still has to be given the chance to turn the form of a few of them around.
