Newcastle United are signing Lloyd Kelly, but they still want to bring in another centre-back.
The 25-year-old is due to officially become a Newcastle United player on July 1st, with Eddie Howe bringing in a player who he has worked with before and believes he can make even better.
Lloyd Kelly is a smart addition to the Newcastle squad, but he might not be the only defender who arrives at St James’ Park.
The Magpies also want a right-sided centre-back, and had initially looked to be signing Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer. Toon officials were confident of completing a deal, only for Chelsea to swoop in and sign the 26-year-old.
Now Newcastle will need to look elsewhere, and appear to be paying very close attention to the England side that is competing at Euro 2024.
Newcastle interested in Marc Guehi
Kieran Trippier was part of the back four that kept a clean sheet against Serbia on Sunday, and was joined by Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.
Guehi was one of England’s best performers in Gelsenkirchen, and is now being linked with a move away from Crystal Palace.
According to Caught Offside, Newcastle United and Arsenal are interested in signing Guehi this summer.
They report that both clubs could make an opening bid for the 23-year-old, who Palace value at £50million.
That is reportedly deemed too much by Newcastle and Arsenal, but there is the added bonus that Guehi is open to leaving Selhurst Park, according to Caught Offside.
Guehi would be an amazing signing for Newcastle amid England heroics
Guehi would be some signing for Newcastle. He is a player who Dan Ashworth wanted at St James’ Park, and he would certainly be welcomed with open arms by Toon fans – especially after seeing his performance for England on Sunday.
