Chelsea wants to complete £70 million deal and re-sign brilliant star

Reports claim CHELSEA wants to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi now that the January transfer window is open

Guehi has been brilliant for Crystal Palace over the past few seasons, his stock in the game has really risen and he is now rated as one of the best central defenders in the Premier League and a player that we have been linked with signing, for a fee of £70 million.

The reports claim that a number of players are being lined up by the club to improve certain areas of the side, and adding a new centre-back that is already proven in the Premier League is something the board are very much open too.

And amid all the speculation and rumours, Stanley has claimed that Guéhi’s success at Crystal Palace has proven his ability to perform consistently at the highest level, and could be a great addition to that Blues back-line, he said: ‘One of Chelsea’s glaring issues has been the absence of a vocal and commanding presence in defense. He is already captain material at Crystal Palace, could fill this void.

‘Guéhi’s ball-playing ability makes him an ideal fit for a manager like Enzo Maresca, who values defenders capable of building from the back. His accurate passing and comfort in possession would complement Chelsea’s modern, possession-heavy approach.

‘Re-signing Marc Guéhi would address multiple concerns for CHELSEA: improving defensive solidity, injecting leadership, and securing a homegrown talent. With the Blues desperate for defensive consistency, Guéhi’s return could be a pivotal step in their quest to challenge for that Premier League title once again.’
