Tottenham plot transfer plan to win the race for Marc Guehi involving a potential swap deal
Tottenham Hotspur have been installed as the favourites to land Marc Guehi ahead of even the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona by former Everton chief Keith Wyness, who has revealed that the Lilywhites are plotting an alternative strategy to land the centre-back.
It is no secret that the Crystal Palace man is admired by Tottenham, with various reports claiming that Guehi has emerged as a frontrunner to replace Cristian Romero this summer.
The press has suggested that Newcastle are Tottenham’s biggest rival for Guehi’s signature, but they are not the only competitors which Spurs have to contend deal with.
It was claimed over the weekend by Paul O’Keefe on X that the Palace man is also in talks with Bayern Munich.

Wyness has now also talked about the possibility that the centre-back may run his contract down and join Real Madrid or Barcelona on a free transfer.
However, he reveals that according to his information, Guehi is more likely to end up at Tottenham this summer, suggesting the North Londoners are plotting a swap deal to sign the England international.
The former Everton and Aston Villa CEO told Football Insider: “It’ll be a blow if Guehi goes because the main objective for Palace will be keeping this squad together. I’m hearing he won’t be going to Barcelona or Real Madrid for free – he’ll be going to Spurs, is what I’m hearing.
“There may be a player swap which can benefit Palace there. I don’t think it’ll be about getting the cash, it’ll be about getting the right players for Palace.
“We may see a swap there and it could end up being a good move for both clubs. If they are going to lose players, Palace have got to replace them with quality.”
Two other Premier League clubs also eyeing Marc Guehi
The same Football Insider article also points out that apart from Newcastle, two other Premier League giants can challenge Spurs for the 24-year-old.
Guehi is thought to be on the radar of his old club, Chelsea, and he is also said to be on Arne Slot’s transfer list at Liverpool.
Additionally, the outlet says that Palace’s historic FA Cup win will not be a factor in the centre-back’s decision, with the player having made up his mind to leave Selhurst Park.
