Tottenham Hotspur have been very active in the transfer market over the last few days, and they are now hoping to sign the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. 

Spurs remain keen on Crystal Palace captain after their January bid was rejected. With Guehi’s contract down to 12 months and Palace open to negotiating around €45 million, the opportunity is ripe.

Sources close to the player’s situation have informed TheBoyHotspur that “fresh contact has been made” with the defender’s camp, and the England international is open to a new challenge. At 24, Guehi prioritises consistent starts — a key selling point in Tottenham’s pitch.

Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bournemouth are monitoring. But with Arsenal unable to guarantee minutes and Chelsea planning a post-Club World Cup approach, Spurs see July as decisive.

Guehi’s Premier League experience, leadership, and 2026 World Cup ambitions make him a standout target. Tottenham aim to make him the cornerstone of their defensive rebuild.

Cristian Romero replacement?

Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and it will be interesting to see if the South American decides to move on. Tottenham will need a quality alternative if he does. The England international could be the ideal acquisition. He has proven himself for club and country over the last 12 months.

He will look to take the next step in his career and join a club capable of winning trophies. Tottenham could be the ideal destination. They will offer him Champions League football and the opportunity to fight for silverware.

Marc Guehi would improve Spurs

Guehi has been described as “exceptional” by the former England manager Gareth Southgate.

The player is entering the prime of his career, and this would be the right time for Tottenham to snap him up. His contract situation means that he could be available for a reasonable amount of money as well.

Tottenham have recently secured agreements for Mohammed Kudus and Morgan Gibbs-White. Guehi would be another exceptional acquisition.
