Newcastle United’s pursuit of a long-term switch goal could also be in jeopardy as free-spending Chelsea look to safe a deal this month.
The agent of Johan Bakayoko lately confirmed that the PSV winger won’t transfer on from his membership this month and it appears one other Toon
Eddie Howe’s facet are restricted in what they’ll spend till sure fringe gamers resembling Martin Dubravka or Miguel Almiron transfer on, leaving us weak to lacking out on sure targets at the moment.
In line with The Mail’s chief reporter Sami Mokbel, Newcastle United goal Marc Guehi has emerged as a January goal for former membership Chelsea.
Chelsea wish to reinforce their backline after a current damage to Wesley Fofana and they’re eyeing up a return to Stamford Bridge for Guehi – who is claimed to be demanding a staggering £170,000-a-week.
Mokbel reviews that Palace had set a £70m asking worth over the summer time, with the hefty wage requests exhibiting how astronomically costly a deal may have been for us – although the Eagles calls for might have lessened with Guehi having simply 18 months left on a deal.
Chelsea bought Guehi to Palace in 2021 for £18m with a 17-20% sell-on clause, however new head coach Enzo Maresca is a ‘big fan’ and desires to deliver him again on the brief journey throughout London.

It’s going to be attention-grabbing to see how the deal transpires after the earlier effort by us was performed so publicly.
Guehi’s kind has been patchy this season and he hasn’t continued within the performances which have noticed him develop such acclaim, however he would nonetheless break the bank in each charges and wages.
Dan Burn has been rock strong at centre-back and Sven Botman is lastly again in black-and-white, so it’s unlikely to be a place of precedence this month – at the very least to not such a drastic extent. With that in thoughts, we may effectively miss out on the Eagles captain, particularly if the free-spending Chelsea become involved this month.
