Glasgow Rangers have already been busy following the end of the Scottish Premiership season.
The main bit of business is that Ianis Hagi has been signed permanently from Genk. The Romania international joined on loan in January and scored three times in 12 games, which convinced Steven Gerrard and co to part with £3m to take him to Ibrox.
Not only that, six players have also already been released. Wes Foderingham, Jordan Rossiter, Jason Holt, Jon Flanagan, Andy Halliday and Jak Alnwick are those who will soon become free agents.
Now, the 54-time Scottish champions have confirmed that four youngsters have signed new contracts to extend their respective stays at the club. The quartet is made up of Jack Thomson, Brian Kinnear, Robbie Fraser and Alex Lowry.
This news has caught the eyes of the Gers supporters, and it is fair to say that they are delighted with the development, probably because it means that several exciting youngsters are committing their futures to the club. They have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts, and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is reportedly set to raid former club Liverpool for the signing of defender, Joe Gomez.
What’s the word?
According to the Daily Star (via the Express), the Midlands side are said to be ‘pressing ahead’ with their move to bring the 25-year-old to Villa Park, having been heavily linked with a deal this summer.
The report suggests that Gerrard is a ‘huge fan’ of the England international and is readying a £30m bid in order to try and tempt the Merseyside outfit into a sale, with the player facing a ‘dilemma’ over whether to stay at Anfield or depart.
Despite falling down the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp in recent times, the Reds boss is believed to be keen to keep the former Charlton Athletic man at the club for the long-term, with two years still to run on his existing deal.
Imagine him and Ake
The 11-cap colossus has undoubtedly endured a difficult period in recent times after falling out of favour for both club and country, having once been tipped to be the Three Lions’ next Bobby Moore by pundit Garth Crooks.
Having missed almost the entirety of the 2020/21 campaign after suffering a knee injury while on international duty, the £16.2m-rated brute was then restricted to a viewing brief again last term, making just four Premier League starts – all of which came as a makeshift right-back.
With Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate ahead of him in Klopp’s centre-back pecking order, the £85k-per-week star has somewhat fallen by the wayside of late, with a departure perhaps best for all parties.
Not that Villa would be acquiring a busted flush, however, with the London-born defender having previously been instrumental in Liverpool’s title triumph in the 2019/20 campaign, notably averaging 0.8 tackles, 1.4 interceptions and 2.1 clearances from his 28 league outings.
Once dubbed “one of the most underrated players in the Premier League” by John Barnes, Gomez is an undoubted talent who is simply in need of regular game time, something that the Villans would seemingly be able to offer.
He could well be joined at the club by Manchester City man Nathan Ake, with the 27-year-old believed to be of interest to Gerrard and co this summer, as the club targets a new left-sided defender.
Those two potential new arrivals could potentially form a hugely exciting and destructive defensive pairing, with Ake perhaps another in need of more action to truly showcase his impressive talent.
Even with his involvement limited under Pep Guardiola – making just 14 league outings last term – the versatile Dutchman still compares favourably to his peers across Europe’s top five leagues, ranking in the top 4% for progressive carries, as well as in the top 13% for aerial duels won.
Two players comfortable in possession but that can defend first and foremost, the duo could well provide an instant upgrade to a squad that shipped 54 top-flight goals last term – the tenth-worst record in the division.
Signing both may seem fanciful – having already brought in Diego Carlos – although with doubts over the futures of both Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa, a double swoop from NSWE could well be what is needed.

It is set to be a historic few days for Everton Football Club, with new owners set to arrive in the near future. According to multiple reports, including one from BBC Sport, The Friedkin Group are set to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s majority stake of 94% in the Toffees.
This takeover has been a long time coming for the Everton faithful, who have protested against Moshiri countless times in recent seasons. A particularly major protest came in March 2023 thousands of Everton fans lined the streets surrounding Goodison Park.
Now, after years of protests and cries for change at the helm, the historic English club might finally have the takeover that they have cried out for. It will bring about plenty of change at Goodison Park immediately, and the future of manager Sean Dyche is under threat, after a poor start to the season for the Toffees.
Everton’s start to the 2024/25 campaign
It has been an underwhelming opening few weeks to the season for the Merseyside club, to say the least. It is now five games into the 2024/25 campaign and the Toffees are currently languishing in the relegation zone. They sit 19th, with Wolves one place below them and Southampton in 18th on goal difference.
In terms of their record so far this term, Dyche’s men have just one point from their five outings so far, a draw against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last Saturday. Their other four games have seen them suffer four defeats, including back-to-back 3-2 losses against Bournemouth and Aston Villa. In both games, they were leading 2-0.
Their underlying numbers are also some of the worst in the Premier League, suggesting it is not just sheer unluckiness that they are 19th in the table. As per Understat, the Toffees have conceded 14 goals already this term, the joint worst in the league, and one of only two sides to have conceded more than ten.
Everton manager Sean Dyche
To make matters worse, they have found the back of the net just five times themselves, with every one of those strikes coming in their most recent three games. It has been a disastrous start to the campaign.

With all that in mind, it is perhaps unsurprising that Dyche is under pressure, and there is a chance he could be removed from his post by a new board. Freidkin Group will no doubt want immediate results, and with the Englishman failing to deliver those currently, it seems like he could be on the chopping block under new owners.
Who could replace Dyche as manager?
With the former Burnley boss potentially set to leave the club if new owners complete the takeover, it begs the question of who could replace him at the helm at Goodison Park.
A few names have been banded around, and according to i News, former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic is one option.
Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic
The report suggests the 41-year-old German is an option for the new ownership group at Goodison Park, and the manger is ‘understood to covet a Premier League job’ should the opportunity arrive; that chance could come up at Everton.
The German has had a curious career so far; he recently ended his tenure as manager of Dortmund for the second time, after taking the reigns of the German giants in 2020. Football presenter Dougie Critchley suggested he did a “remarkable” job, and it is hard to disagree.
In two seasons at Signal Iduna Park, Terzic guided Dortmund to second in the Bundesliga during his first term, losing the league to Bayern Munich, and the Champions League final last campaign, which they lost to the irresistible Real Madrid.
Prior to taking the hot seat at Dortmund in 2020 and 2022, the 41-year-old was a youth manager and assistant manager at the club, before securing his first roles in senior football. He was the assistant to Slaven Bilic at Besiktas between 2013 and 2015, before following him to West Ham United in 2015 and remaining his assistant until 2017. Terzic’s next role came in 2018 when he returned to Dortmund to become their assistant manager.
It has certainly been a curious career so far for the former West Ham assistant, and it would be fascinating to see how he manages in the top flight of England if he lands the Everton job. His transitional and direct style could well complement some of Everton’s players in the final third.
Which Everton players would benefit from Terzic arriving?
Last season in their impressive Champions League run, the German outfit completed 487 long passes as per FBref, the fourth most in the competition, showing their direct nature. To further illustrate that, see the clip below, where Karim Adeyemi is played in behind with a direct long ball from Mats Hummels before Niclas Fullkrug is slipped in behind from a shorter distance by a pass which directly carves through the Los Blancos defence.
The German might use Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a similar role to how he used Fullkrug last term for Dortmund.
The German striker was used to holding the ball up and dropping deeper, creating space for attackers in behind, and looking to release the ball quickly, something that could work well for the Toffees with the likes of last weekend’s goalscorer Iliman Ndiaye.
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Terzic’s Dortmund team last term were a counter-pressing outfit, and whilst this may not work for the Toffees who arguably do not have the same quality as the German side, the ability to construct such a press is there. He may also adapt his side to sit deeper rather than play the higher line he did in Germany, to create a more pragmatic Toffees outfit and look to reduce the number of goals they concede.
This is an Everton side that feels like they are severely underperforming, The Toffees have been one of the poorer sides in the top flight and a change of manager might be what they need. Terzic’s style of play is direct, yet it is a system that still puts an emphasis on technical football and patterns of players rather than kicking the ball upfield and hoping for the best.
It would be a bold move from the Toffees’ potential new owners, but one that could be an inspired choice, and help them climb the Premier League table this term.
Friedkin could sack Dyche by hiring "genius" Moyes alternative at Everton
Liverpool have been rocked as one of their squad members has strongly suggested he wants to leave Arne Slot's side in the windows to come.
Liverpool stars on international duty
After Slot's perfect start to the Premier League season, the majority of his players headed off on international duty to represent their nations. As usual, Mohamed Salah impressed for Egypt despite not finding the back of the net in his side's 3-0 win over Cape Verde.
Japan international midfielder Wataru Endo also starred in a 7-0 thrashing of China, with the Liverpool man kicking off the scoring in the rout.

Dutch trio Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo all impressed against Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the forward getting on the scoresheet in their 5-2 win.
But it was a less enjoyable international break for some of their teammates; Dominik Szoboszlai endured a tough 5-0 defeat against Germany, while Andy Robertson's Scotland conceded five times across their two games on the way to a pair of late losses against Poland and Portugal.
There was also defeat for Ibrahima Konate, who was at the heart of defence during France's 3-1 defeat to Italy and was promptly dropped for their subsequent win over Belgium. At U21 level meanwhile, Jarell Quansah helped England take four points from their two games, keeping a clean sheet against Northern Ireland. Now, the international break has thrown up some disappointing news.
Liverpool youngster wants out after starring for Ireland
That comes as no.2 goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher has confirmed his desire to leave the club, admitting that he tried to do so over the most recent summer transfer window. Kelleher impressed despite ending on the losing side against England in Ireland's Nations League opener, with Irish publications full of praise for his performance.
One report, who gave him the joint highest rating of any player in the Irish side, explained:
"Kelleher made a super one-on-one save up against Anthony Gordon in the lead-up to Declan Rice's opener. He could not have done anything more for either of England's first half goals.
Though his distribution was sometimes lacking, he was a strong presence in the Irish box and was solid when called upon.
Made a brilliant save in injury time to prevent Saka from making it three."
Meanwhile, his 7.8 rating was far and away the best of any of his side according to popular app sofascore, and one prominent Irish football twitter account dubbed him "the only positive" from the defeat.

But speaking ahead of his side's second game of the international break, Kelleher emphasised his desire to leave Anfield, with the Reds having agreed to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia next summer.
“I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to leave to be number one. Sometimes from the outside looking in, it looks like maybe that’s 100% my decision but maybe at times it’s not always in my hands as well”, he explained.
He had been subject to offers from Nottingham Forest both in January and in the summer window, with the latter offer consisting of £7m plus Matt Turner, a bid which the Reds turned down. Now, they may be forced to finally cave in to his wishes when 2025 rolls around.
Does anyone fancy a bit of Va Va Voom? Of course, you do. If you're reading this then it's likely you're an Arsenal fan. You love Thierry Henry. You love the swagger, you love the charisma and most importantly, you love the goals.
There have been none better in Arsenal's history. There has, arguably, been no better foreign import in Premier League history either.
Henry personified the Arsene Wenger years in north London. There were many of them, but the two Frenchmen came together to conjure up the most successful years in the club's history.
Signed as a spritely young winger from Juventus, Wenger turned his fellow countryman into one of the most feared strikers in history.
He scored a club-record 228 goals for the Gunners and took home two Premier League titles, two FA Cups and a UEFA Champions League runners-up medal. He even won the World Cup while an Arsenal player.
Now cast in bronze outside the Emirates Stadium, he is still held in incredibly high regard by those in N5. That said, they once missed out on an incredible opportunity to bring the next Henry to the Premier League. That's a certain Kylian Mbappe.
When Arsenal missed out on Kylian Mbappe
You could build a pretty fearsome squad out of the players Arsenal have allegedly missed out on across the years.
There have been stories of how Sir Alex Ferguson beat Wenger to Cristiano Ronaldo, how there was interest in Lionel Messi and of course, that fateful trial that Zlatan Ibrahimovic had with the club.
However, if we're talking about the modern era, their failure to convince an incredibly young Mbappe to make the move to London will surely still sting.
So, what's the story here? Well, speaking in 2021 after he'd left the club, Wenger revealed how they came close to luring the player to English shores.
Oh Arsene, what might have been, eh? There was even the chance to sign him in 2017 before the great Frenchman moved to PSG.
That said, it didn't ever truly feel like an option for the now 25-year-old who has previously opened up about interest in him from the Gunners. "Yes, I met with Arsene Wenger, who is a great coach," Mbappe admitted.
"He has a great reputation here in France, he's well-respected and knows how to develop young players. This was a real option for me.
"But, of course, Paris Saint-Germain was the main option. We weighed up the advantages and disadvantages of all the clubs but my family told me it had to be my decision and one I needed to make."

Kylian Mbappe's transfer value in 2024
From potentially signing the amazing forward on a free transfer, it will come as no surprise to see that the attacker's transfer value has soared astronomically over the years, even if Real Madrid did sign him for no transfer fee in the summer.
Despite that, it's still a seriously expensive move for Madrid. Mbappe was reportedly paid a signing fee of just over £85m and will earn an alleged £25m a year. It's money Arsenal couldn't even dream of paying a player in wages.
While things are beginning to work out for Mikel Arteta and Co, they will no doubt lust after that Erling Haaland-esque figure to power their way past Manchester City.
Alongside the Norwegian, they are the Messi and Ronaldo of this generation. Or, as Wenger once coined him, Mbappe is "another Thierry Henry".
Among the nominees for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, there are few better in the global game than a man who scored 256 times for PSG, 44 of which came last term in 48 games.
So, what is he actually worth? Well, from the day Arsenal could have nabbed him on a free, Transfermarkt now value the World Cup winner at an eye-watering £152m.
To put that number into context, you just need to look at the graphic below where Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is valued at £118m.
This is one of the greatest what-if stories around. Perhaps one day we will get to see Mbappe in the famous red and white. It's wishful thinking, we know.
Arteta must regret selling £37m Arsenal man who's now a Ballon d'Or nominee
The brilliant international has thrived away from North London.
Leeds United could be set to make their first signing of the summer, even before securing a new manager…
What's the latest on Viktor Johansson to Leeds United?
With the 49ers seeking to solve the many issues that Andrea Radrizzani left them with when he offloaded the club, atop their list is likely filling their head coach vacancy.
However, they cannot pass up the opportunity of a transfer coup should it appear, which according to Football League World, it has done.
They note that the Whites are keeping tabs on Rotherham United goalkeeper Viktor Johansson as a potential replacement for Illan Meslier, with a focus on domestic transfers expected to be the priority this summer.
Fans will likely be glad to see the back of their French shot-stopper, given how his exploits at the back end of last term cost them dearly.
After all, it was reported back in April that he already had one eye on an exit even before their relegation.
Who is Viktor Johansson?
To swap out this culpable French dud for such a capable gem would mark an instant upgrade, and hopefully kickstart a much-needed defensive revolution at Elland Road.
Last campaign the Whites shipped 78 goals as they finished 19th in the Premier League, and the 23-year-old goalkeeper saw much of the blame placed upon his shoulders. The stopper was therefore understandably dropped for their final four games of the season.
His 6.65 average rating in the league that year was supportive of Sam Allardyce's decision, as he would concede on average two goals per game, and kept just five clean sheets throughout the whole term, via Sofascore.
Journalist David Kent even outlined how the £30k-per-week dud had let his side down, writing on Twitter in April: "Meslier a massive liability at this stage for Leeds."
Meanwhile, Johansson has been an ever-present stalwart for The Millers, cementing the number-one spot with a string of fine performances.
Across his 43 Championship matches in the recently-concluded campaign, he was averaging 3.7 saves per game at a success rate of 74%. This fed into the 13 clean sheets he had earned, and the 7.11 average rating bestowed upon the 24-year-old, via Sofascore.
Despite his side finishing 19th, he commanded a staunch backline that held firm on many occasions despite all their struggles.
illan-meslier-leeds-united
The 6 foot 1 titan had offered a glimpse into his goalkeeping strengths back in 2020 and has only served to prove his claims correct in the following years.
He initially claimed: "I’d say I’m an explosive goalkeeper, quick off my line, good at shot stopping and good with my kicking."
Replacing unreliability with solidity will be a huge step forward for the Yorkshire outfit, as the 49ers seek to hand whoever their new manager is the perfect platform for instant success.
Wolverhampton Wanderers journalist Steve Madeley gave his immediate reaction to Nathan Collins’ ‘reckless’ challenge that saw him sent off vs Manchester City.
The Lowdown: Collins sees red
The Old Gold hosted Pep Guardiola’s side at Molineux on Saturday, but suffered a 3-0 defeat thanks to two first-half goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland, followed by Phil Foden adding a third on 69 minutes, making this the club’s first loss in four Premier League games.
One of the most notable moments though was the centre-back being shown a straight red card for a high-waisted tackle on City’s opening scorer, meaning that he will now be temporarily suspended and unavailable for selection.
The Latest: Madeley’s reaction
Taking to Twitter, Madeley insisted that whilst Collins’ lunge wasn’t done on purpose, his dismissal was a completely fair decision by referee Anthony Taylor. He wrote:
“No malice in the challenge from Collins but it was seriously reckless and he can have no complaints about the sending off. He’ll now miss the next 3 games, exposing Wolves’ lack of depth at centre-back.”
The Verdict: Bad day at the office
Whilst Wolves beating Man City in this game wasn’t impossible, the likelihood is it wasn’t going to happen given the reigning champions’ current form and the absence of Lage’s natural strikers.
Collins receiving his marching orders so early on made the task of dealing with their world-class opponents twice as difficult, though his karate-esque challenge was never going to be viewed as anything less brutal.
It’s fair to say it was an all-round disappointing day at the office, but it’s important that the Wanderers now use the international break to regroup and come back fighting against West Ham in the hope of securing all three points without Collins in the XI.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in sealing a move for Stuttgart defender, Hiroki Ito, as Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his defensive ranks this summer.
What is the latest on Ito to Tottenham?
A report from 90min last week suggested that the new Spurs boss had approved the club's search to find a new centre-back addition, with the likes of Harry Maguire and Aymeric Laporte having been mooted as potential targets.
According to Japanese outlet, Sponichi, however, the ex-Celtic man could be opting to make a more left-field move with the signing of the aforementioned Ito, with the 24-year-old having spent the last two seasons with the Bundesliga outfit.
The report suggests that the north Londoners are 'interested' in signing the 6 foot 2 ace ahead of next season, with the former Jubilo Iwata man – who made the move to Germany on an initial loan deal in 2021 – having just two years remaining on his current contract.
Who is Hiroki Ito?
The nine-cap Japan international has caught the eye due to his standout form for Stuttgart over the last two years, having praised as having an "unbelievable" left foot by the club's former sporting director, Sven Mislintat.
With the versatile rock having the ability to feature at both left-back and in the centre of the defence, the £9m-rated ace could potentially prove a dream upgrade on long-serving Tottenham man, Ben Davies, amid reports that Postecoglou and co are willing to listen to offers for the Welshman this summer.
Tottenham's Ben Davies
As pundit Gabby Agbonlahor suggested, the 30-year-old seemingly "just isn't good enough anymore", hence the need to bring in a figure like Ito to take his place ahead of next season.
The difference in quality between the pair was particularly evident in the most recent campaign, with Ito illustrating his ball-winning brilliance after averaging 1.3 tackles and 1.3 interceptions per game from his 30 league appearances, while Davies averaged just 0.9 and 0.6 per game for those same two metrics, respectively.
While both Davies and Ito created four big chances in the league in 2022/23 as a sign of their attacking intent, it does appear to be the latter man who offers a greater creative outlet, as he ranks in the top 5% among his European peers for progressive passes – with the current Spurs man ranking in just the top 20% in that regard.
Equally, with the former Swansea City ace having been described by Agbonlahor as being "so poor on the ball" during a recent encounter, Postecoglou could ditch the £80k-per-week liability by bringing Ito into the fold.
With the former Yokohama F Marinos boss having utilised his knowledge of the Japanese game to acquire the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi, Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda during his time at Parkhead, the 57-year-old could well repeat that masterstroke with the addition of the Stuttgart sensation.
Chelsea are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper this summer, as Todd Boehly reportedly hopes to land a new first choice shot-stopper in the upcoming transfer window.
The Blues spent a monumental figure exceeding £500m last season in a bid to improve their squad, all to little avail as Stamford Bridge saw the club’s lowest finish since the 1993/94 campaign.
If reports are to be believed, Chelsea could spend big once more with a number of players already linked with a potential move ahead of the window.
What’s the latest on Mike Maignan to Chelsea?
As understood by 90min, AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was mentioned in discussions with Chelsea officials.
The report claims that Blues representatives mentioned their interest in the goalkeeper while discussing the potential deal between the two clubs for Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Their approach was reportedly dismissed by Milan, though taking into consideration the clubs’ hopes to sign a new 'keeper, the Rossoneri favourite could be a name destined for Stamford Bridge.
What could Mike Maignan bring to Chelsea?
Hailed as being a “giant” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, the Frenchman has established himself as one of Europe’s strongest goalkeepers for his performances at San Siro.
The 27-year-old, who ascended up the ranks at Paris Saint Germain, could be a revelation at Chelsea, who have jousted between the talents of Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga this past season.
Branded as a “liability” by former Blues defender Mario Melchiot, Kepa has had an eventful time since signing from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for a fee of £71.6m, with him now rated at just £26m by the CIES Football Observatory.
While the Spaniard has displayed his talents on numerous occasions, he’s had his fair share of mishaps on and off the pitch, and was benched by Mendy following the Senegalese ace’s arrival in the capital.
Now, the end of the road for the 28-year-old could be in sight if reports regarding Maignan are to be believed.
As per Sofascore, the Milan goalkeeper has conceded an average of 1 goal per game in Serie A this season, marginally fewer than Kepa, who averages 1.1 per game in the Premier League.
Criticised by Jamie Redknapp for not making ‘nearly enough saves’, the Spaniard has been placed into the spotlight in the past for his weaknesses in saving shots from distance.
As displayed in a graphic presented by Sky Sports below, the former Bilbao ace is familiar with conceding from outside the box, with the pattern reinforced this season with him conceding six from such areas, via Sofascore.
kepa-arrizabalaga-chelsea
Maignan could eliminate the weakness that the current Chelsea 'keeper possesses, as evidenced by him conceding just two from distance this campaign, as well as recording three saves caught to Kepa’s none, despite playing fewer games as per Sofascore.
Chelsea’s inconsistencies between the sticks must be resolved this summer, with not many clubs switching between their goalkeepers throughout the season due to poor performance.
In signing the £59k-per-week beast, Mauricio Pochettino could unearth a reliable and commanding number one in the bid to significantly improve things at the Bridge.
Tottenham Hotspur may 'have the edge' in the hunt to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi because they will be able to offer him first-team football ahead of Euro 2024 next summer, according to journalist Dean Jones.
What's the latest transfer news involving Marc Guehi?
According to FootballTransfers, Tottenham are interested in bringing in Guehi this summer to bolster their defence, though they may have to pay a pretty penny to land the England international.
Speaking to the outlet, journalist Steve Kay said: "Spurs are interested in signing Marc Guehi in the summer. Palace want £65m. Spurs apparently won't pay that – they're looking at paying around £45m."
The Daily Mail also confirm that Spurs are keen on the 22-year-old; however, they also detail that Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are monitoring his situation.
Crystal Palace won't make a decision on the future of the £50k-a-week ace among other players in their squad until a new manager is appointed at Selhurst Park.
ESPN claim that Tottenham and West Ham United have been offered the chance to sign Harry Maguire, which could also be an avenue Spurs go down as they look to bolster their backline.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, journalist Jones thinks that Guehi will be a serious option this summer at Tottenham alongside Maguire as Ange Postecoglou looks to get to work on potential additions.
Jones said: “The Harry Maguire interest is of course going to make headlines because of who he is and where his reputation is right now, but he is not the only option out there by any means. One of the other Premier League ones we should expect them to thoroughly look into is that of Marc Guehi.
"He is also admired by Arsenal, but Spurs might have the edge on them in terms of being able to offer regular first-team football, which is going to be vital in a season that leads into the European Championship as he will aim to be part of that England squad.”
Who would be a better signing for Spurs out of Harry Maguire and Marc Guehi?
Factoring in age, profile and long-term thinking, Guehi would appear to be a better fit for Tottenham as they look to improve on their disastrous 2022/23 showing.
This term, Guehi, who has been lauded as an "absolute tank" by England U21 teammate Joe Bursik, made 40 appearances in all competitions for Crystal Palace and scored a solitary goal in the process, as per Transfermarkt.
marc-guehi-premier-league-liverpool-transfers
WhoScored show that Guehi completes 3.6 clearances on average per match in the Premier League this season, demonstrating his acute awareness to dangerous situations.
Furthermore, FBRef take into account that Guehi has also won 61.9% of challenges entered into across the campaign, indicating that he is a domineering presence in the backline.
Moving forward, bringing in Guehi would excite the Tottenham faithful and help Postecoglou to get off to a flying start in north London.
