Chelsea are reportedly extremely keen to beat Tottenham Hotspur to the services of a centre-back in the summer, and the Blues have one trick up their sleeve which could aid their efforts to do so.
Tottenham bolstered their backline with the addition of Kevin Danso in January, but they also reportedly tried to push through a sensational deal for another centre-back in the dying stages of the window.
It was widely reported that Spurs had submitted an offer of £70m for Marc Guehi, which was sent back by Crystal Palace, who did not want to lose a key man so late in the window.
Since then, various sources have suggested that Tottenham might go back in for Marc Guehi when the transfer window opens in the summer.
The Mirror have now claimed that Palace turned down several bids for Guehi over the last year, including approaches from Tottenham during the recent transfer window and one from Newcastle last summer.
However, Chelsea are expected to join the race for the 24-year-old in the summer, with the Blues determined to move to the front of the queue for the player.
Guehi came through the Chelsea academy, and it is explained that Enzo Maresca is a big fan of the centre-back and wants to bring him back to the club.
