Marc Guehi’s move to Newcastle set to be triggered by £17.5m deal – Report

Despite some lingering doubts, The Mail’s Craig Hope remains confident that Marc Guehi will sign for Newcastle United before Friday’s 11pm deadline.

Speaking on his Youtube channel after last night’s Carabao Cup win at the City Ground, Hope ended his post-match review with an update on the Crystal Palace defender who we’ve been chasing all month.

Hope stated that Palace are now ‘waiting’ to get a centre-back before sanctioning Guehi’s sale and believes they are closer to doing exactly that after a £17.5m deal for Maxence Lacroix was agreed on Wednesday. Once that’s done, he “expects Guehi to arrive at Newcastle United”, suggesting his big-money move to St James’ Park is very much in the pipeline.

“My information is…again…I still think Marc Guehi will happen,” he said. “Palace were waiting to get the centre-half in. I think there has been movement on that today in terms of them agreeing a price (for Maxence Lacroix). Once that happens I do expect Guehi to arrive at Newcastle United.”

Let’s hop he’s right and the delay is simply Newcastle waiting for Palace to get their ducks in a row before allowing him to leave.
