Tottenham Hotspur have every reason to be delighted with their business after reflecting on the winter transfer window.
Mathys Tel’s option-to-buy clause in his loan deal to Tottenham makes the move all the more better.
Meanwhile, loanee Kevin Danso has garnered praise from Ange Postecoglou already and Dominic Solanke reckons Antonin Kinsky has a bright future ahead of him — as Johan Lange has masterminded the additions of three potentially brilliant signings.
But Tottenham’s bid for Marc Guehi was rejected by Crystal Palace — who could have further elevated this Spurs side had their £70 million proposal been accepted.
Guehi is happy to stay at Crystal Palace as the England international is likely to move on in the summer — as several club will be waiting in the wings to sign him.
Marc Guehi has been excellent in a Palace shirt for a number of years and after how he shone for the Three Lions at the European Championship, his reputation has been been further endowed in the masses’ eyes.
Ally McCoist says Marc Guehi would’ve been a “great signing” for Tottenham
Guehi, described as a “leader” by Phil Foden has come leaps and bounds in his career over the past few years and naturally, he has become one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League.
Tottenham’s bid for Guehi was before Danso’s arrival, suggesting how key he was to their transfer plans and how highly they rate the 24-year-old.
Ally McCoist firmly believes the former Chelsea defender would have been a terrific addition to this Tottenham side and would especially have suited Ange Postecoglou’s side if he played in a back three.
McCoist said on talkSPORT: “I tell you who would’ve been a great signing for them but you can totally understand Palace, Marc Guehi would’ve been a great signing for them.”
“I’ve thought about it and I’ve thought that would be a great signing in respect that I would change Tottenham’s shape if they sign Guehi and play the three centre-backs with two wider boys. I’m thinking it would suit Ange [Postecoglou] in the way that he plays.”
Tottenham fans would perhaps agree with Ally McCoist’s judgement, with Jamie O’Hara calling Guehi a “top player” as well. Paul Merson feels Tottenham must sign Guehi as he could have a huge impact on fixing their leaky defence.
Chelsea will try signing Tottenham target Marc Guehi this summer
The potentially worrying news for the Lilywhites is that Chelsea will try signing Guehi this summer — TBR Football have been informed.
Chelsea’s plan was to sign Guehi now but now, they are willing to wait for a few months before trying to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.
With Tottenham languishing in 14th place in the Premier League while the Blues are currently placed fourth, in theory at the very least, a move to West London might be considered a no-brainer for the Englishman.
