Marc Guehi stays focused on Crystal Palace, eyes dream summer move

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is keeping his sights on helping his team for the rest of the season, despite growing speculation about his future.

With Guehi’s contract expiring next summer, Palace faces the prospect of losing him for free unless a deal is struck, but the player isn’t paying attention to transfer talk just yet.

Sources close to the defender say he remains “focused on his current club.” January is viewed as Palace’s final chance to cash in, but Guehi reportedly isn’t considering a move before the season ends.

Still only 25, the centre-back has drawn admiring glances from top clubs and is tipped to join Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming World Cup, seen as a leader both on and off the pitch.

Insiders suggest Guehi’s plan is simple: play at his best until May and then aim for a big move and contract, possibly at a Champions League club. “If he performs,” said an insider, “he’ll be rewarded with the move he wants.”
