Tottenham can sign one of the best Premier League CBs for free | OneFootball

Tottenham have a strong group of four center backs right now with starters Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, as well as winter 2024 signing Radu Dragusin and highly promising winter 2025 addition Kevin Danso.

However, Dragusin's future seems to be outside of North London while Romero has made it clear that despite being vice captain of Tottenham at a true crisis point for the club, his mind is elsewhere. Besides Van de Ven and Danso, the others are not safe, and Spurs could be looking for a more stable center back who makes fewer mistakes than Romero if they decide to grant the Argentinian international's dream and sell him.

Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi has been one of the most coveted names in the Premier League over the past few windows, though the Eagles have been able to rebuff all interest in the accomplished England international to this point.

Tottenham are 'keen' on Marc Guehi

Guehi's name has been floated around before as a possible Tottenham transfer target, and now Fabrizio Romano is also stating that Spurs are still "keen" on signing the talented 24-year-old, as are fellow Premier League clubs Chelsea and Newcastle.

Fab states that if Crystal Palace can't agree on a transfer fee this summer window, Guehi could leave the club for free in 2026. He would be eligible to sign in the winter on a pre-contract deal if he does not sign an extension with Palace or otherwise agree to a transfer prior to the January window.

Tottenham should be all over this. They could either get Guehi, who is rated as a 45 million euro player by Transfermarkt, at a cut price, or they could outright get him for free if Crystal Palace try to play hardball. Chelsea have been trying to sign Guehi back for years and Newcastle were close to getting him last summer, so Tottenham will have to be in a bidding war.

Spurs can't miss out on another ideal signing

But after losing out on a sure thing last summer in current PSG star Desire Doue, Tottenham fans will be gunning for Spurs to go after Guehi if there is any chance of nabbing him. Guehi is a proven commodity against the best Premier League strikers and is having another above-average season for Crystal Palace.

The dream would obviously be to sign Guehi for free, and there's no doubt that this avenue would be Daniel Levy's preference. But if it's the difference between Guehi and no Guehi, then Tottenham should sign the best possible Romero upgrade this summer at that, likely, discounted rate.
