Newcastle’s pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi hits a roadblock – Sky Sports

Newcastle United’s pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has hit a roadblock, as reported by Sky Sports’ Paper Talk. The Magpies were reportedly keen on bringing the talented young center-back to St. James’ Park, but negotiations have stalled in recent days.

Guehi, who has been a standout performer for Palace this season, has attracted interest from several clubs in the Premier League. However, Newcastle seemed to be leading the race for his signature before the talks hit a snag.

It is unclear what exactly has caused the delay in the deal, but Newcastle will be hoping to resolve any issues quickly in order to bolster their defensive options for the remainder of the season.

Guehi, who is on loan at Palace from Chelsea, has impressed with his composure on the ball and his ability to read the game. The 21-year-old has been a key figure in Palace’s defense this season, and his potential arrival at Newcastle would be a significant boost for Eddie Howe’s side.

Fans will be eagerly awaiting any updates on the situation, as Newcastle look to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. Stay tuned for more developments on this story as it unfolds.
