Tottenham and Man Utd target plays down January exit

Posted on December 02, 2023

Tottenham and Manchester United target Marc Guehi will turn down a January exit as he continues to shine for Crystal Palace, reports 90Min.

The 23-year-old's form under Palace boss Roy Hodgson has caught the eye of the pair who are seeking to bolster their backline in the New Year.

Spurs' first choice centre-back pairing of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are currently absent, though the latter will return after Sunday's trip to Manchester City.

United, meanwhile, are keen on cashing in on Raphael Varane and have shortlisted Guehi as a potential replacement for the experienced Frenchman.

However, Guehi will reject the chance to leave Selhurst Park in the summer as he looks to cement an England spot ahead of Euro 2024.

The youngster has been a regular in Gareth Southgate's selections, starting four of England's eight European Championship qualification matches.

And Guehi fears that a move away from Palace will limit his minutes elsewhere as he looks to guarantee his place as one of Southgate's first choice centre-backs next summer.

Guehi has played every minute for a Palace side in the Premier League this season that boasts one of the best defensive records in the division.
