Tottenham 'Leading Contender' to Sign 'Superstar' Ahead of Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur are a leading contender to secure the signature of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, alongside Liverpool, according to Caught Offside.

Guehi appeared incredibly close to making the move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, with GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Fabrizio Romano confirming that the England international completed a medical with the Merseyside club. Guehi eventually stayed at Palace, but his contract expires next summer, meaning he will be able to pick from a host of clubs who will inevitably be in the race to sign him.

Unfortunately for Palace, they look set to lose Guehi for nothing, with the English centre-back clearly keen on departing the club, considering he was happy to move to Liverpool in the summer. Where he ends up remains to be seen, but there's no doubt plenty of sides will be battling to secure his signature if he's available for nothing.

Tottenham Leading Contenders to Sign Marc Guehi

According to a report from Caught Offside, Tottenham are a leading contender to sign Crystal Palace defender Guehi in the summer transfer window, with his departure considered 'when not if'. Spurs view him as a relatively low-cost but high-impact defensive reinforcement, his leadership qualities and Premier League experience would strengthen the spine of their back line.

Liverpool remain interested as well, seeking to revive their pursuit following the failed summer move. The Eagles could accept a lower fee in the January transfer window just to try and salvage something from him, especially as La Liga outfits Barcelona and Real Madrid are considering offers in the winter.

Guehi, labelled a 'superstar' by Steve Parish, would be a smart signing for a reasonable for a host of clubs around Europe, and if he's available on a free transfer, it wouldn't be a surprise if every side in world football wanted to bring him in. Despite being just 25 years old, Guehi has plenty of experience at international and Premier League level, regularly captaining Palace.

Guehi will have to weigh up which club is going to offer him regular first team football, especially if he moves in the January transfer window. The World Cup is fast approaching, and the England international will be desperate to be one of Thomas Tuchel's starters when the tournament begins in the summer of 2026.
