Newcastle United are nearing a deal to sign England defender Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace for over £60 million. Guéhi, who impressed at Euro 2024, is keen on the move, and negotiations between the clubs are progressing well. Newcastle aims to bolster their defense for a Champions League push, with Guéhi seen as an ideal partner for Sven Botman. Despite Palace rejecting an initial bid, they appear willing to sell with Guéhi eager for the transfer. Eddie Howe has refrained from commenting on specific deals but remains hopeful about ongoing transfer efforts. The move would highlight Newcastle's ambitions under their new sporting director, Paul Mitchell, and reassure Howe of the club's commitment to strengthening the squad.
