Tottenham Hotspur are planning to reignite their pursuit of Marc Guehi this summer after a rejected £70 million bid in January. The England international is reportedly ready to request an exit from Crystal Palace, entering the final year of his contract, providing a potential boost to Spurs’ efforts. Tottenham, currently 13th in the Premier League and out of both domestic cups, are hoping to bolster their defence, with Guehi a key target for manager Ange Postecoglou.

With Spurs’ season hanging by a thread, their last hope for success rests on overcoming a 1-0 deficit to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League. Postecoglou’s side has been under intense pressure, especially after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. Despite the chaotic match, where Tottenham fought back from two goals down, the point gained could provide a spark for their upcoming challenge.

Tottenham’s focus on defensive reinforcements has been clear, particularly after the absences of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero earlier in the season. The club’s quick decision to sign Kevin Danso on loan from RC Lens has paid off, and Spurs are now looking to make a permanent addition to their defensive lineup. Guehi, valued at around £75-80 million, is regarded as a top-tier centre-back and has been a consistent performer for Palace. Despite interest from multiple top clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Newcastle United, Tottenham remains keen on striking a deal for the 23-year-old.

Crystal Palace’s chairman, Steve Parish, has previously hailed Guehi as a “sensational talent,” and the defender is said to want a long-term contract with any potential suitor. Tottenham, however, will face stiff competition from other Premier League giants in the race for his signature. Spurs’ hopes of securing Guehi will likely depend on their ability to qualify for European football next season, with their current form and the outcome of their Europa League campaign being crucial.
