Tottenham Hotspur receive Marc Guehi lifeline after David Ornstein update

Tottenham’s path towards landing Marc Guehi may have just cleared up a little following David Ornstein’s big transfer update regarding the Crystal Palace man.

Thomas Frank is certainly not short of options at centre-back, but over the last week, it has become clear that the Lilywhites are continuing to scour the market for central defenders.

Tottenham have allegedly made a bid of €70m (£60.6m) for Illiya Zabarnyi, but the Bournemouth man is not the only Premier League centre-back Frank’s men are eyeing.

According to a recent update by The Telegraph, Spurs still remain interested in Marc Guehi, who has just a year left on his contract at Crystal Palace.

Liverpool make Marc Guehi decision amid Tottenham links

Earlier this summer, it looked like Spurs were outsiders in the race for the Palace star, with Liverpool emerging as the front-runners to land Guehi.

However, David Ornstein has now revealed that the Reds are hesitant to pay a big fee for the Eagles captain and are now considering moving for other alternatives instead.

The journalist said on The Athletic’s Transfer DealSheet: “Liverpool need to recruit a new centre-half with the imminent exit of Quansah and are looking at many candidates.

“As reported last week, Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi is a player under consideration, but with just one year remaining on his contract, Liverpool will only firm up their interest if the price is right.

“Nottingham Forest’s Murillo is admired but is likely to be too expensive, so sporting director Richard Hughes is looking at other young centre-halves.”

How much would Guehi cost this summer?

We know the North Londoners are ready to spend big on the England international based on the fact that Tottenham put in a £70m bid for Guehi during the January window.

Some sources have claimed that Guehi could be available for £50m this summer after refusing to sign a new deal at Selhurst Park.

However, it is unclear if the 24-year-old would be open to a move to N17. It was claimed by The Times last month that Guehi had rejected Tottenham’s advances.
