Tottenham retain an interest in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer, BBC journalist Sami Mokbel has revealed.

The Europa League winners targeted a move for the Eagles skipper in January but saw their late bid rejected, as Palace were reluctant to sell mid-season.

However, with Guehi’s contract now entering its final 12 months, there is a strong chance of him departing in the coming weeks, with a host of Premier League clubs keeping close tabs on his situation.

Liverpool are believed to be leading the race and are in ongoing talks over a summer deal, while the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea all have admiration for the 24-year-old ‘superstar’ defender.

Among Premier League clubs keen on the 24-year-old

According to Mokbel, there are indications that Palace could accept an offer between £40m and £45m for Guehi, with a year left on his contract.

The Eagles rejected an approach worth £65m from Newcastle last summer but are now in a weaker negotiating position amid growing interest from Premier League clubs.

Guehi, who joined Palace from Chelsea permanently in the summer of 2021, has been a cornerstone of the South London club’s defence since, making 155 appearances across all competitions and scoring eight goals.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Guehi made only two senior appearances for Chelsea before departing in 2021.

Tottenham have welcomed Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel on permanent deals to kick-start their summer business and are now believed to be eyeing another reinforcement for their attacking options.

According to reports, the Lilywhites are showing interest in a move for West Ham star Mohammed Kudus and have held club-to-club talks over a potential deal.
