Rio Ferdinand has suggested that one player on Tottenham Hotspur’s radar heading into the summer transfer window has actually been his country’s best defender at Euro 2024.
Spurs supporters, eager to build on a strong debut campaign under Ange Postecoglou, will be hoping to see their team spark market excitement.
Tottenham’s squad is full of talented players, but it’s possible that they still need a few big additions to really elevate the team.
And a lot of Spurs supporters probably would really love to see a deal made for Marc Guehi when considering defenders they would love to add to the team.
Rio Ferdinand lauds Tottenham target Marc Guehi
Earlier in the year, it was rumoured that Tottenham was thinking of making a summer approach for the £60 million-rated Guehi. Even though they have three excellent center-back alternatives in Cristian Romero, Radu Dragusin, and Micky van de Ven, it wouldn’t be shocking if some fans wanted to see them take a chance and sign Guehi after seeing his first two games at Euro 2024.
England’s performance in their opening two games has been lacklustre, and against Denmark, Guehi made a mistake that almost cost them.
However, in response to criticism of Gareth Southgate’s lack of consideration for fringe players ahead of the tournament, Rio Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel that he has been really impressed with the Crystal Palace youngster.
After the tie with Denmark, he commented, “There are a lot of players that we still don’t know if they’re going to be good enough, but they’re here.” “Even Guehi, who has been our best defender and has been brilliant, we really had no idea what he was going to be like because he doesn’t get a lot of playing time and minutes.”
Clubs hoping to sign Crystal Palace star may now face even tougher task after news on Friday
Oliver Glasner, who is keen to retain as many of his key players as possible this summer, has likely handed a serious blow in the last few hours to any team wanting to recruit Guehi during this window.
It might be more difficult to sign players like Guehi, Adam Wharton, and Eberechi Eze now that Michael Olise has reportedly chosen to join Bayern Munich.
Nevertheless, given Guehi’s continued success on the international front, it seems doubtful that teams like Tottenham will lose interest in him over the coming months.
