Some big claims have emerged from The Telegraph in the last few moments, with Luke Edwards reporting that Newcastle United are closing in on the signing of Marc Guehi.
He reports that a fee ‘well in excess of £60m’ is close to being agreed for the England international centre-back after talks between Toon chiefs and Crystal Palace ‘progressed well’ in the last few days.
There’s confidence a deal will be agreed and personal terms will ‘not be a problem’, with Guehi himself said to be very keen to complete a move to St James’ Park – so much so he’s ‘urged his representatives’ to push through a deal.
It’s believed a deal could be concluded before the end of the week and would mark a significant coup for Newcastle United, Eddie Howe and new sporting director Paul Mitchell, who have been pushing to bring in a young, athletic, right-footed centre-back all summer.
