Tottenham to accelerate talks to sign Marc Guehi this summer

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of the Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi. 

Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and Tottenham need to replace him adequately. He is the best defender at the club, and his departure will weaken the squad. Tottenham are looking at the England International as a potential replacement.

Guehi has been linked with Newcastle United as well.

Cristian Romero replacement?

Guehi has certainly proven his quality in the Premier League with Crystal Palace, and he helped them win the FA Cup this past season. He has the ability to play for a bigger club, and he could be the ideal replacement for the World Cup winner.

According to Fichajes, Tottenham are now looking to accelerate negotiations to sign the player, and he will cost them €40 million. The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality, and he could easily justify the outlay.
