Chelsea and Liverpool are keen on Marc Guehi as well, but Tottenham are confident of winning the race to sign him. According to a report by Give Me Sport, he will cost £50 million this summer. It is no secret that Tottenham need a quality defender. Cristian Romero could be on the move, and Guehi could be the ideal replacement for the South American.
The 24-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League with Crystal Palace, and he helped them win the FA Cup this season. He is entering the final year of his contract this summer, and Crystal Palace will be under pressure to sell him. They cannot afford to lose a player of his quality on a free transfer. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay £50 million for the defender. With just 12 months left on his contract in the summer, they will probably hope to negotiate a more reasonable deal.
Spurs have looked vulnerable defensively, and losing their best defender Romero, would be a blow for them. It remains to be seen whether they can replace him adequately. The England international is undoubtedly a quality player who has shown his ability in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact.
Chelsea are hoping to bring their academy graduate back to the club as well. They have looked vulnerable defensively, and he could prove to be a major upgrade on players like Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, Ibrahima Konate faces an uncertain future at the club. The French international will be out of contract next summer, and he has not signed an extension with the club yet.
Liverpool could be under pressure to cash in on him if he refuses to sign a renewal. They will not want to lose a player of his ability on a free transfer. This summer could be the ideal opportunity for them to cash in on the player and replace him. He could be a solid acquisition for them. He could form a quality partnership with Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the Liverpool defence.
