Why Tottenham target Marc Guehi is worth ‘paying over the odds for’
Tottenham Hotspur are set for an eventful transfer deadline day, with one signing all-but over the line and another big target in their sights.
Mathys Tel is on his way to Tottenham after making a U-turn, with TBR Football sources saying Spurs will pay £6.5million to bring Tel on loan until the summer.
Tottenham also landed Kevin Danso on loan from Lens at the weekend and have also tried their luck with a £70million bid for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.
Tim Sherwood has now spoken about Tottenham’s bid for Guehi and explained why hꦬe thinks Spurs should pay “over the odds” for him.
Tim Sherwood says Marc Guehi is ‘one of the best centre-backs’ Tottenham can get
Sherwood, speaking on , said he feels Guehi is “one of the best centre-backs they can get🎐” and deemed him “better than (Cristian) Romero”.
The former Tottenham boss said: “If youꦆ’re going to try and get Marc Guehi now, you are going to pay over the odds. I think he is worth paying over the odds.
“The two b♋est centre-backs Tottenham have at the club are Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven.
“And unless y🔯ou can go and get somebody better than them two there’s no point of bringing a body in for the sake of it because at the end of February they’re both gonna be fit and come back into the side.
“With Marc Guehi he is be🐎tter than Romero in my opinion but he’s not better than Van de Ven, they are completely different but he will be one of the best centre-backs they can get.”
How likely Tottenham are to sign Guehi this year
Unfortunately for Tottenham, Crystal Palace rejected Spurs’ bid to sign Guehi for £70million this month.
Furthermore, sources have told TBR Football that Guehi is happy to stay at Crystal Palace until the end of the season.
Guehi considers Tottenham a quality side, praising them after Crystal Palace’s𝐆 1-0 win against Spurs earlier this season.
However, with Palace n𝐆ow on the up and pushing for a top-half finish, it seems unlikely that they’ll be willing to cash in on him mid-season.
That said, sources have told TBR Football that Guehi is e💞xpected to leave Crystal Palace tꦫhis summer.
This could give Tottenham the cha🅠nce to ꦆre-ignite their interest in bringing him over to N17 at the end of the season.
