JUST NOW: Spurs are now thinking of launching a summertime approach for the “fantastic” £60 million defender.
Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs set to consider making a move for Marc Guehi in the summer transfer window, but face some serious competition for the Crystal Palace star’s signature.
Marc Guehi has continued to impress at Selhurst Park this season, forming an impressive partnership with Joachim Andersen for the Eagles.
Spurs did sign Radu Dragusin to provide competition for the likes of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero in January. But Tottenham have also been admirers of Guehi for some time.
Tottenham weighing up making a bid for Marc Guehi this summer
And according to Dean Jones, who was writing for SportsLens, Ange Postecoglou’s men are one of the teams weighing up making a bid for the 23-year-old in the summer. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United also have Guehi on their radar.
Meanwhile, Palace would be looking for a fee of around £60 million for the England international. Guehi will also be looking to move on at some stage.
Spurs will be wary of getting involved in bidding war
Clearly, Palace are not going to let Guehi leave on the cheap. He has been such a ‘fantastic‘ signing for the club, costing just £18 million when he arrived from Chelsea.
They are certainly going to make a significant profit on him, whether he leaves in the summer or further down the line.

Tottenham have enjoyed an impressive first season under Postecoglou. And it may well be that they are back in the Champions League next year. So they will need further depth in a number of places, including at centre-back.
However, it remains to be seen if they are prepared to spend so much on Guehi when they do have the likes of van de Ven, Romero and Dragusin already.
They have made some really shrewd investments over the last few years. And they may perhaps feel that there could be better value elsewhere on the market – particularly if a bidding war starts.
