Crystal Palace rejected a bid from Tottenham for England defender Marc Guehi over the weekend.

It is another setback for Spurs in their ongoing search for reinforcements in what is proving to be a frustrating January transfer window for the north London club.

Tottenham have also been rebuffed in their attempts to sign Fikayo Tomori from AC Milan, with the player understood to have rejected the opportunity to move to Tottenham.

Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel had also rejected a permanent move to Spurs but in a dramatic U-turn on Deadline Day, the 19-year-old is now flying to England after agreeing a switch following a long conversation with Ange Postecoglou.

Sky Sports News understands the structure of the Tel deal is still being negotiated between the clubs.

It is expected Guehi will remain at Palace during this window. Newcastle and Spurs could revive their interest in the summer when he enters the final year of his deal.

Chelsea were also keen on re-signing Guehi earlier this window before they decided to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Palace.

Spurs are looking to add another defender after the loan (with obligation to buy) signing of Kevin Danso. They ended their pursuit of Chelsea defender Axel Disasi earlier on Deadline Day.

Ange Postecoglou's side has suffered several injuries in the centre of defence. Radu Dragusin picked up a worrying knee injury last week in their Europa League victory over Elfsborg, with Cristian Romero also on the sidelines.

Micky van de Ven has only just returned from a long-term injury and was not named in Spurs' matchday squad in the win over Brentford on Sunday to manage his minutes ahead of Thursday night's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Liverpool, live on Sky Sports.

'A major show of solidarity and support from Palace'

Sky Sports News' Michael Bridge at the Tottenham Hotspur training ground:

"Spurs really do need another centre-back. There are reports that Radu Dragusin's injury is more serious than first feared. They signed Kevin Danso from Lens on Saturday evening for around £21m.

"Deadline Day is usually quite busy here and stories come from out of nowhere. The story we're getting now, via widespread reports, is that Crystal Palace have rejected a bid worth up to £70m from Spurs for Marc Guehi.

"That is a major development - major money as well that Palace have turned down. Given his contract length [Guehi's deal expires in 2026] that's a real show of solidarity and support from Palace's side for keeping Guehi.

"We brought you news in the summer of the four rejected bids from Newcastle for Guehi, who was happy to stay."

Man Utd toothless without a striker

The only striker to start the game in Crystal Palace's 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford scored both of the goals. Jean-Philippe Mateta showed what a proper centre-forward can do - and what Ruben Amorim's side continue to sorely lack.

There are numerous issues at United, wing-backs who cannot create, defenders being outwitted and a ponderous midfield, but it was the sight of Kobbie Mainoo playing up front that highlighted the obvious contrast between the two teams on Sunday.

Man Utd 0-2 Crystal Palace - Match report & highlights

As it happened | Teams | Match stats

The out-of-position teenager did have his moments early on. He set up a good chance for Alejandro Garnacho and then struck the post himself. But that was it. The trouble that Mateta caused the defenders at the other end of the pitch was a different matter.

United just look toothless. It is 16 games since they led at half-time. The only first-half goal they have scored in their last 14 in all competitions was Bruno Fernandes' penalty in the defeat to Brighton. On this occasion, the second half was probably even worse.

What the decision to go with Mainoo says about Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee is a matter for speculation. But both of them struggled when they came on, looking totally devoid of confidence. United limp on but they continue to be a tough watch.

There is little evidence to suggest anyone left at the club, given Marcus Rashford's departure, has the pedigree to change things. To the transfer market, then? Speaking afterwards, Amorim seem more concerned about throwing good money after bad.

"We are trying everything to improve the team, without doing the mistakes of the past, trying to balance the urgency of the moment." United need help. But the question is not just whether they can afford the right striker. It is whether they can really afford to wait.

Spence stands up to be counted ahead of Salah test

Djed Spence take a bow. The Tottenham defender, playing out of position at left-back, did a fine job on Sunday marshalling Bryan Mbeumo. Next up? Mohamed Salah.

The stats show he won eight of his 10 duels at the Gtech and no-one won more tackles in a Spurs shirt. Impressive. But there were also the other moments which made a difference - how he used his strength to shoulder the Bees ace off the ball to win a throw, how he forced Mbeumo to turn back rather than cross, his recovery pace to shut down a Brentford charge down that side…

Brentford 0-2 Tottenham - Match report & highlights

As it happened | Teams | Match stats

After being ineligible in midweek and injured against Leicester, this was a timely return to the team - and underlined the progress Spurs' full-back has made.

"He's been outstanding since he's come into the team," said Postecoglou afterwards. "He loves the challenge of taking on the elite. Bryan is right up there, especially here. You can see he loves that challenge. That was another reason we kept Micky [van de Ven] on ice. He'll be important for us until Destiny gets back."

He'll certainly be important on Thursday, in the Carabao Cup semi-final at Liverpool when he has to contain this season's top performer, Salah...

No home comforts for Brentford right now

Brentford's fortress has been conquered more than usual in recent weeks - they are now winless in six at home across all competitions, with their loss to Spurs their fifth defeat in that run.

Perhaps the early kick-off on Sunday isn't ideal for generating an intimidating atmosphere but since holding the best home record in the league earlier this campaign, Brentford have struggled in west London of late.

Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool have featured in that run, so they have faced tough opposition - but this weekend Thomas Frank will be left reflecting on how his side failed to make long spells in Spurs' final third count.

Thirty-seven crosses, 48 touches in the box and 2.29xG added up to nothing.

Away days against West Ham and Leicester are up next and Frank will be hoping for a positive return from those fixtures so they can capitalise on their next home game, against Everton, and return to picking up important points at their HQ.

Peter Smith

'Nobody doing it better than Jean-Philippe Mateta'

If you had asked football fans a year ago whether Jean-Philippe Mateta was one of the top strikers in the Premier League they would have simply laughed and called you a fool.

His rise under Oliver Glasner has been phenomenal. Manchester United can only wish to have a striker possessing such power, athleticism and ruthless goalscoring ability. He makes defenders defend with his movement and his sheer brute force when in full flow is a sight to behold - as identified by his jaw-dropping 80-yard run from one end of the pitch to the other in the first half where he left four United defenders in his wake.

Tottenham have confirmed the signing of defender Kevin Danso from Lens.

The 26-year-old has joined Spurs on loan until the end of the season, with the north London club having an obligation to make the move permanent in the summer.

Wolves had been in talks to sign Danso for most of the January transfer window and arranged a medical for the Austria international to take place on Sunday morning.

However, Wolves were told after Saturday's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa that Danso had chosen to move to Spurs, after they began late talks with the player.

Spurs had been in the market for a new defender in this transfer window after Radu Dragusin picked up an injury in the Europa League victory over Elfsborg. Cristian Romero is also out injured, while Micky van de Ven has only just returned from the treatment table.

Ange Postecoglou's side had held advanced talks with AC Milan over the signing of Fikayo Tomori, but the England international opted to stay with the Serie A club.

That blow for Spurs came after Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel also turned down a move to the club after Daniel Levy helped agree a £50m fee for the attacker.

Wolves, who already signed defender Emmanuel Agbadou earlier in the transfer window, are now looking for another centre-half - with the January transfer window shutting on Monday night at 11pm.

Ange: Spurs are still an attractive option for players

Tottenham remain an attractive proposition for new players ahead of Monday's transfer deadline, according to under-fire manager Postecoglou.

Spurs were yet to sign an outfield player going into the final days of the transfer window - but have sealed a late move for defender Danso.

"It depends what the players are looking for," Postecoglou said on potential new signings.

"You can look at it two ways, OK the league form is not great but there's some pretty big possibilities to have success here in the last three or four months.

"It's still a big club, it's still a club that can challenge for honours and it's whether the player sees the potential that we see right now, or certainly that I see. If it's too much of a hard sell, it's probably not the right one for us.

"You need a bit of discipline. The one thing I don't want to do is bring somebody in who is just going to be another body.

"I don't think that serves any purpose knowing what we've got coming. That aside, there is definitely a need for us and has been a need. That's why we've been looking for a player or two to help us with what's ahead, but they have to be the right types and fit in with what we're doing.

"I guess that's the tricky bit. There are plenty of players available but are they going to be the right ones? That's the question for us."
