AliousMarc Guehi believes he has significant room for improvement, which is a key reason why Newcastle United has been so persistent in pursuing him as their top summer transfer target.
With less than two weeks left in the transfer window, Newcastle remains determined to sign the Crystal Palace defender.
However, they are also exploring alternatives in case a deal can’t be reached.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has indicated that the club will persist with targets they believe in, as long as the financial aspects align with their structure.
However, he also warned that they would be prepared to switch targets if a club’s asking price becomes excessive.
Crystal Palace has set a high price for Guehi, despite him having less than two years left on his contract.
This is due to Guehi’s rising stock following his performances at the Euros, his young age for a center-back, and his experience of nearly 100 Premier League games and 17 England caps.
Guehi himself acknowledges that he is still developing all aspects of his game, including communication, distribution, and defending.
While he’s not yet the finished article, it’s easy to envision him improving further under the right guidance.
Howe and his coaching staff have a track record of elevating players’ performances and are well aware of Guehi’s desire to improve.
Guehi maintains a modest view of his performances, emphasizing consistency as his main goal.
He strives to be a reliable presence in defense, providing stability for his team in each game.
