Tottenham fans are still yet to come down from the high of Wednesday’s Europa League win and they have just received further good news regarding the future of a player who is rumoured to be their top centre-back target, Marc Guehi.
It has been widely reported over the last few months that Tottenham have identified Marc Guehi as their top choice to replace Cristian Romero, who has been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid this summer.
Various sources have confirmed that Tottenham had a £70m offer for Guehi rejected late in the January window, but the centre-back is expected to come much cheaper in the summer.
With the England international having just one year left on his contract at Selhurst Park, it was reported by journalist Ben Jacobs last week that Palace may be prepared to accept £50m for Guehi during the upcoming transfer window.
FA Cup win will not make a difference to Marc Guehi’s future
Football Insider have now said that the Eagles were hoping that their historic FA Cup win may help persuade the centre-back to stay, but it has not worked out that way.
The outlet claims that winning the trophy and securing Europa League qualification will not make a difference to Guehi’s future.
Palace have not been able to advance on negotiations over a new contract with the former Chelsea man, although they have not yet given up hope of tying him down just yet.

Guehi is not the only Palace man that Spurs are chasing, with reports over recent weeks indicating that their manager, Oliver Glasner is one of the names on Tottenham’s wishlist to replace Ange Postecoglou.
However, unlike Marc Guehi, the FA Cup win appears to have had an effect on the Austrian coach’s decision on his future, despite links with Tottenham.
