Newcastle United are keen to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
The 24-year-old has established himself as a reliable player in the Premier League and many clubs in England are always looking at his development.
According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle have taken the first steps to sign the player. They have spoken to Crystal Palace and will have to pay more than £60 million to complete the deal.
Newcastle need to improve their defensive unit this summer and the former Chelsea Academy graduate would be a solid acquisition. He has all the attributes to develop into a top player and will want to join a club that can push for trophies in the coming seasons.
Newcastle have an ambitious career and have the resources to sign the best players. Guehi might be attracted to the idea of joining them.
However, the asking price can be a big problem. Newcastle may want to sign him for a reasonable price this summer. It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace are ready to lower their demands.
Marc Guehi will improve Newcastle
The 24-year-old is still entering the prime of his career and could only improve with training and experience. He can fix Newcastle's defensive unit for the foreseeable future. The defender has been linked with a number of clubs in recent months, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Newcastle will be hoping to qualify for the Champions League next season and will look to do well in domestic competitions as well. They need to strengthen defensively and Guehi could form a strong partnership with the likes of Sven Botman and Lloyd Kelly at the back.
