Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur share a very fierce rivalry.
The two London clubs have no love for each other. Games between them always have an edge and it is fantastic to watch for the neutral.
The Blues and Spurs often lock horns in the transfer market too. Just recently, Tottenham signed Mathys Tel despite a late hijack attempt from Chelsea on deadline day last Monday.
In the summer, they are set to battle it out for another player, but Chelsea think there will only be one winner in that race.
Chelsea think Marc Guehi will join them instead of Tottenham
Marc Guehi has emerged as one of the most sought-after defenders in the Premier League.
The Englishman has made a fantastic name for himself at Crystal Palace over the last few years. He has performed really well for the national team too.
Guehi has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Selhurst Park, and he is expected to leave the club in the summer transfer window.
TBR Football exclusively revealed Chelsea’s interest in Guehi all the way back in September. The Blues are really keen to bring him back.
Tottenham made a big bid for Guehi in January, but that was rejected.
The battle is set to continue in the coming months, but GiveMeSport have shared some good news for Chelsea fans.
The report claims that the Blues ‘believe that Guehi is keen on re-joining the club’ and would even pick Stamford Bridge over a move to Tottenham.
That is a shame for Spurs as Guehi would’ve been a great fit under Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham wanted to sign another old Chelsea defender
Guehi would’ve been an incredible signing for Tottenham, but there was no way Crystal Palace were going to sell him in the final days of the window.
The ‘outstanding’ England centre-half, however, wasn’t the only former Chelsea defender on Spurs’ list – Daniel Levy tried to sign another one too.
Tottenham were close to agreeing a deal with AC Milan for Fikayo Tomori, but he rejected Spurs and ended up staying at the San Siro.
If Guehi does end up at Chelsea in the summer, it won’t be a surprise to see Tottenham make another move for Tomori.
