Newcastle should launch bid for £25m Premier League defender as Marc Guehi deal on verge of collapsing

Newcastle remain active in the summer transfer market ahead of deadline day on Friday.

Eddie Howe is keen to bring in a central defender this week and has identified Crystal Palace’🍌s Marc Guehi as a prime target.

But, having been in talks for most of August, Guehi’s proposed move to Newcastle is now on the verge of coll♕apsing.

So, the Tynesi𓆏ders should consider a last-minute bid for a Premier League dౠefender who’s actually available.

Newcastle should go in for Trevoh Chalobah

Newcastle United will have to look elsewhere in their pursuit of a centre-back and should look no further than Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah, who’s been labelled ‘colossal’ per .

TBR reported earlier this month that Newcastle are interested in Chalobah and have him on their transfer shortlist, so 💦clearly, he’s a player Howe admi🌞res.

Plus, he’s been made available by Chelsea, so it should be a pretty straightforward deal to do if they can fend off in🦹terest from Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old has a £25m valuation – which is evidently feas🍸ibl🍸e for Newcastle who made a bid in the region of £65m for Guehi.

Newcastle may not sign anyone

Craig Hop♋e shared that Newcastle may not actually sign another defender as Howe had tunnel vision for Guehi.

Joachim Anderson was m𒉰ooted as an alternative target earlier in the window but he’s since moved to Fulham.

So, they could be left with nꦑo choice but to persist with their 🍸current options.
