Tottenham Hotspur Are Big Admirers Of This Crystal Palace Defender: Should Frank Snap Him Up? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are big admirers of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Bailey said,

“Liverpool will be back for him, of course. But they know they’ll be one of many clubs making an offer. Now, with Guehi, it resets everything. Everyone starts at a blank slate.

“Guehi’s people are aware of the clubs who have already told them they’ll be making an offer next summer – clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid.”

“In England, let’s see where Tottenham finish – they love him as a player. Would Chelsea come into the equation on a free transfer? Of course, they would. Man United? If they finish in the top four, of course they do.”

Guehi’s Impressive Form In English Football This Season

Guehi deserves a ton of credit for helping the Eagles win the Community Shield last month. The English talent has enjoyed a good run of form at the London club as he has registered one goal in six matches for them so far across various competitions.

The 25-year-old has been a reliable presence at the back as he made five tackles, two interceptions and 13 clearances in the Premier League this season. He has even distributed possession from inside his half after completing 83.9% of his attempted passes in the English first division (stats via fbref.com).

Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank Snap Guehi Up?

Guehi is a tough-tackling defender who can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his side on the defensive end of the pitch. He doesn’t mind clearing his lines when required and is proficient at playing his way out from inside his half.

The English sensation has got a wealth of experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to settle into life at Tottenham.

We can expect Guehi to bring more bite and steel to Spurs boss Thomas Frank’s defence. He has what it takes to nail down a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming years.

At 25, Guehi has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a worthy target for the North London club to pursue next year. Hence, Frank would be wise to snap him up when the transfer window reopens in January or at the end of this campaign.
