Hide AdGuehi race hots up
Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi continues to attract interest after being subject to multiple offers from Newcastle United during the summer. Newcastle submitted offers worth around £65million, but Palace stood firm over their £70million asking price and reportedly raised the price to £75million in the final couple of days of the window.
According to The Sun, Manchester City are now interested in a deal for Guehi, adding competition for Newcastle. Palace are unlikely to sell in January, but they could be set for a big pay day next summer, especially if there are two clubs bidding to land Guehi.
Romano on Rabiot
Another headline with a Newcastle angle. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Adrien Rabiot has rejected a move to Saudi Arabia and Turkey amid reported interest from Newcastle ahead of the January window.
Romano tweeted: “Similar to Turkey, Adrien Rabiot has also currently no plans to accept any proposal from Saudi Pro League. His priority and desire remain European top 5 leagues.”

Hide AdBent on Skipp
Darren Bent has slammed Leicester City’s signing of Oliver Skipp on a £20million deal from Tottenham. "Worst signing, Oliver Skipp and I feel so bad saying that,” Bent told talkSPORT. "What am I supposed to do? I just think £20 million, Bent continued. Is that what Leicester needed? Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks. Harry was good last year in the Championship. The reason why I am not putting Dewsbury-Hall (to Chelsea) in there because Chelsea have just thrown the money left, right and centre at loads of different players, so you almost get lost in it.
“I am not saying he is a bad player. Leicester fans can tell me, when they signed Oliver Skipp, did they automatically think ‘right, yes, he gives us the best chance of staying up?’ Does he?”
