However, they will face competition from Premier League rivals, Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham wanted to sign the player during the January transfer window as well, and they failed with an offer for him. They remain keen on signing him, and they could return with an offer this summer.

Marc Guehi would improve both teams

Both teams need more depth in the defensive unit, and the 24-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate have struggled with injury problems, and they need more depth on the side. Jarell Quansah was sold earlier this summer.

In addition to that, Konate is in the final year of his contract, and he has been linked with an exit.

As far as Tottenham are concerned, Cristian Romero continues to be linked with a summer departure, and they will need to fill the void left by him.
