Newcastle United are readying a £40 million bid for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi as they scramble to rescue what's become a nightmare summer transfer window.
Eddie Howe’s side have missed out on several targets already this summer as they struggle to compete with the traditional Premier League giants.
Joao Pedro and Liam Delap both decided to join Chelsea, while Hugo Ekitike snubbed them to join Premier League champions Liverpool.
According to The Times, Newcastle are now ready to reignite their interest in Guehi, 25, and are ready to make a £40 million offer.
It’s understood that Newcastle are £10 million below Crystal Palace’s asking price for the England international.
Guehi has just one year left on his contract in South London, with Chelsea and Liverpool also heavily linked with a move.
