Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi this summer, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Spurs look to have an incredibly exciting summer ahead. Of course, Antonio Conte’s men booked their spot in the Champions League ahead of next season.

Conte will be expecting the club to make some big moves in the market. And one area where they will almost definitely strengthen is at centre-back.

Fabrizio Romano has previously claimed that Tottenham will indeed sign another defender for the back three. And it seems that Fabio Paratici has taken note of how well Guehi has done in his first year in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old joined Palace from Chelsea for £18 million. He had previously shone out on loan in the Championship.

But he has since gone on to prove that he most definitely belongs at the very highest level. Guehi made his England debut earlier this year. And he has been named in Gareth Southgate’s latest squad.

It seems that Tottenham could now make a move for Guehi. The Daily Mail reports that the Palace star does have interest from Spurs ahead of the window.

Guehi has helped make the Eagles take a giant step forward this past season. Only six teams in the Premier League have conceded fewer goals than Patrick Vieira’s men.

He is excellent on the ball and reads the game superbly well. Thomas Tuchel lauded his ‘fantastic‘ development ahead of the recent FA Cup semi-final. Some at Chelsea even reportedly believe that he is a better prospect than Fikayo Tomori.

So he would be an amazing signing for Tottenham if a deal is at all possible. However, Palace are certainly not going to let Guehi go easily in the coming months.

Spurs may have to be prepared to make a big offer.
