Newcastle United are keen on signing the Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
The 24-year-old has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League and a number of English clubs are keeping tabs on his development.
According to a report from Daily Mail, Newcastle have now taken the first steps to sign the player. They have made an approach to Crystal Palace and they will have to pay in excess of £60 million to get the deal done.
Newcastle need to improve their defensive unit this summer and the former Chelsea Academy graduate would be a solid acquisition. He has all the attributes to develop into a top-class player and he will want to join a club capable of pushing for trophies in the coming seasons.
Newcastle have an ambitious project and they have the resources to sign the best players. Guehi is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them.
However, the asking price could be a major problem. Newcastle might want to sign him for a more reasonable price this summer. It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace are ready to lower their demands.
Marc Guehi would improve Newcastle
The 24-year-old is yet to enter the peak of his career and he could get better with coaching and experience. He could sort out the Newcastle defensive unit for the foreseeable future. The defender has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months, and it remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
Newcastle will be hoping to secure Champions League qualification next season and they will look to do well in the domestic competitions as well. They need to tighten up defensively and Guehi could form a solid partnership with the likes of Sven Botman and Lloyd Kelly at the back.
