Tottenham confident of landing £50m Crystal Palace star after UCL qualification

Crystal Palace star Marc Geuhi is linked with a move to Tottenham in the summer

The Europa League success has opened all sorts of routes for Tottenham to pursue new players in the transfer window. The Lilywhites have secured Champions League football for next season as well, and that might just prove to be the key factor needed to convince potential targets to join the club in the summer. Ange Postecoglou’s men beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final and ended the club’s long-standing trophy drought this season.

The players gave their all to get over the line against the Red Devils. And it is fair to say that the win on Wednesday night will live long in the memory of all involved with the North London club. The main takeaway from the game was how resolute the defence was. Ange’s men managed to keep a rare clean sheet in the biggest game of the season.

The Spurs defenders played their “A” game and ensured that Manchester United did not score to take the game into extra-time. One of the standout players on the pitch was Cristian Romero. The 26-year-old was elected as the Man of the Match for his brilliant performance and he showed why he is one of the best defenders in world football.

UEL success makes Tottenham favourites to land Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi

The Europa League success does not mean that Tottenham do not need to invest in the squad heavily. The North London club still needs to bring in reinforcements in the summer as many key players are expected to head for pastures new once the season ends. One of the players that is expected to head out is star defender Cristian Romero. The Spurs No.17 is linked with a move to Real Madrid and he is leaning towards a summer exit.

Daniel Levy will need to bring in a replacement if Romero does end up leaving N17 for pastures new. It was reported earlier that Tottenham were interested in signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in the summer as a potential replace of Cristian Romero. Well, the Lilywhites have received a positive update regarding Guehi’s potential move to Hotspur Way.

As per GIVEMESPORT, Spurs have become the favourites to land Marc Guehi this summer after ensuring Champions League football for next season. The England international is entering the final 12 months of his contract at Selhurst Park and the Eagles are open to cash-in on the defender in the summer. The aforementioned report also states that Palace are open to entertain offers that fall short of £50m to avoid letting him go for a free next year.

Signing Marc Guehi would ensure that Tottenham have signed a perfect player to replace Cristian Romero. The England international would bolster the quality of the defence instantly and form a good partnership with Micky van de Ven at the back. He is also a perfect fit for the Lilywhites. Guehi is comfortable playing in a high-line and can play out from the back. He is also solid in ground duels and tends to break the press with his good passing range.
