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.

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.
