Newcastle United is seeking to enhance their defensive options in the upcoming months. According to a report by Fichajes, they have identified Marc Guehi, a 23-year-old defender from Crystal Palace, as a potential target. Guehi has demonstrated his quality in the Premier League while playing for Crystal Palace, making him a valuable potential addition for Newcastle.
Despite having one of the top defensive units in the previous season, the Magpies have displayed vulnerabilities at the back recently. Therefore, bolstering their defense is a priority, with signing a talented young partner for Sven Botman being of utmost importance. Players like Fabian Schar and Dan Burn are approaching the end of their careers, making Guehi an ideal candidate for the team.
Having already proven himself in the Premier League, Guehi is ready to take the next step in his development, and a move to Newcastle United would represent a career advancement that he is likely enthusiastic about.

Newcastle is set to compete in the UEFA Champions League this season and has an ambitious project in place, supported by substantial finances for acquiring top-tier talent. Guehi sees the potential to contend for major trophies in the coming seasons by joining St. James’ Park.
Furthermore, playing at the highest level with Newcastle could solidify his position in the starting lineup for the England national team. Despite his high standing in the Premier League, Guehi is not expected to come cheap, as Crystal Palace is likely to demand a premium for their prized prospect. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle can reach an agreement in the coming months.
