Jamie O’Hara says Tottenham have a chance to make an incredible signing on deadline day

We’re heading into the final few hours of the transfer window, and Tottenham have work to do still.

Spurs look to have found their man in an attacking sense as Mathys Tel is set to join Spurs, but Tottenham still need a new defender.

Spurs have signed Kevin Danso, but after an injury to Radu Dragusin, Tottenham still want another defender on deadline day.

Axel Disasi has been linked to Tottenham recently, while Spurs made a bid for Marc Guehi towards the end of the transfer window too.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Jamie O’Hara has been discussing Spurs’ move for Guehi, and he says that Tottenham have the chance to make an incredible signing here.

Marc Guehi would be an incredible signing for Tottenham

O’Hara shared his verdict on a potential move to Spurs for Guehi.

According to the pundit, Guehi would be an incredible signing and his arrival would go a long way towards getting fans back onside amid complaints about Daniel Levy and the Spurs board.

“I know they’ve brought in Danso, but spend the money on Guehi, if you can get that done and force him out of Crystal Palace. What a signing that would be, that would really get everyone back on side to say Spurs want to deliver big players,” O’Hara said.

“I know it’s a lot of money, but he’s a top, top player, I don’t know if Levy would want to go to that level and go big, but that’s a great opportunity. I don’t think Palace want to let him go.”

Marc Guehi record vs Tottenham

Tottenham have looked at signing Guehi on deadline day, and it’s easy to see why Spurs are such big admirers of the defender.

Indeed, not only did Guehi have a fantastic European Championship, he’s also performed well against Spurs in the past.

Guehi’s record against Tottenham really isn’t bad considering the disparity between Crystal Palace and Tottenham in terms of stature.

Guehi played a key part in Palace’s 1-0 win against Tottenham earlier this season too as he put in a colossal performance on the day.

Guehi is a top defender, and he would be the perfect late addition for Tottenham, but whether or not Spurs can resurrect this deal remains to be seen.
