As deadline day approaches, a number of Premier League clubs are circling around Crystal Palace players.
Aston Villa have already made an approach to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is currently one of the best strikers on the planet with 19 goals in his last 22 appearances.
Fulham are also trying to sign Joachim Andersen – the Cottagers submitted a surprise £20m bid on Sunday.
Furthermore, Newcastle are still pursuing Marc Guehi – and an update on the Crystal Palace No.6’s future has now emerged…
Crystal Palace and Newcastle hold fresh Marc Guehi talks
A story from iNews states that Newcastle have held positive talks with Crystal Palace about a deal for the England international in the last few days.
The Magpies have left a £50m bid on the table – whereas Crystal Palace want closer to £60m – although it sounds as if Newcastle are in a strong position.
It is said that Guehi is keen to join Eddie Howe’s side, and personal terms on his contract are described as being “as good as agreed” – iNews add that Newcastle are feeling very optimistic about a deal after these latest talks with Crystal Palace.
The 24-year-old started Crystal Palace’s 1-1 draw against Nantes at Selhurst Park on Sunday, however, meaning an exit is not on the verge of happening, whereas Jesurun Rak-Sakyi was absent as he nears a loan move to Sheffield United.
Oliver Glasner likely to sign a familiar face to replace the England international
By the looks of it, a player Oliver Glasner knows well is going to replace Guehi, once the £50,000-a-week man completes his move to Newcastle.
Maxence Lacroix – who Glasner signed during his time at VfL Wolfsburg – is firmly in Dougie Freedman’s sights, with TEAMtalk claiming that talks are in the final stages as the Austrian targets a reunion with the Frenchman.
If that deal were to collapse for whatever reason, the Daily Mail have added that Chelsea No.14 Trevoh Chalobah is also on Crystal Palace’s shortlist of options to replace Guehi.

Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Lacroix or Chalobah could arrive at Selhurst Park once Newcastle wrap up a deal to sign Guehi.
