Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are progressing in negotiations for Marc Guehi.
The defender is expected to leave Selhurst Park before the start of the new 2024-25 season following an impressive 12 months.
Enjoying an excellent individual campaign for the Eagles, Guehi, 24, was called up to represent England in this summer’s EUROs.
Although the Three Lions fell at the final hurdle and lost the final 2-1 against Spain, Guehi was his country’s standout performer throughout the tournament.
