It seems that Chelsea is eager to strengthen their defense by bringing in a new player. According to reports, they have their eyes on Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi for the upcoming summer transfer window. It's no secret that Guehi was a top target for Newcastle United last summer, but unfortunately, they were unable to secure his signature. This was due to Palace's steep asking price of £70m, which the Magpies were not willing to meet.
At 24 years old and with 22 caps for England, Guehi has been making quite a name for himself in the football world. In fact, he recently received praise from interim Three Lions boss, Lee Carsley, who described him as "fast and aggressive". It's no surprise that his performance has caught the attention of his former club Chelsea, who are hoping to acquire him for a lower fee next summer. TalkSPORT reports that Guehi's contract with Palace will expire at the end of next season, and he has yet to commit to a new deal with the club.
Having been a part of Chelsea's academy for 14 years from 2007 to 2021, Guehi is no stranger to the club. However, he only made two first-team appearances before being sent out on loan to Swansea City. He was eventually sold to Palace three years ago and has since become a key player for the Eagles. His impressive performances have also earned him a spot in the England national team.
Carsley, who has worked with Guehi before in the Under-21s, had nothing but praise for the young defender. He even made him captain during his time in charge. According to Carsley, Guehi possesses leadership qualities both on and off the pitch, and his maturity is evident in his game. He believes that Guehi still has a lot to offer and is constantly improving, especially in terms of his quality. Despite fierce competition in the center-back position, Carsley believes that Guehi deserves his place in the team. He also commended Guehi's skills on the ball, describing him as "excellent".
It's clear that Guehi's future is bright, and many are eagerly watching his progress. As for Chelsea, it remains to be seen if they will be able to secure his services next summer. But one thing is for sure, Guehi's impressive performance and potential make him a highly desired player in the world of football.
