Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent at TBR Football – can confirm that Crystal Palace have rejected an offer from Tottenham for Guehi. Spurs, who are exploring several options to sign a new centre-back, decided to pursue a move for the England defender, and they were ready to go big.

Fans have been left stunned at the fee Spurs offered for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi in a shock deadline day approach that nobody saw coming. With a squad that has been plagued by injuries this season, Spurs has been extremely active in the January window - bringing in a total of four players so far.

Crystal Palace have rejected a bid from Tottenham for defender Marc Guehi thought to be about £70m. The England international, who attracted interest from Newcastle in the summer, has 18 months left on his contract with Palace.
