Premier League rivals Tottenham, Newcastle and Liverpool are all monitoring a Crystal Palace star this summer, according to reports.

It comes amid plenty of rumours surrounding the future of some key squad players at the disposal of Oliver Glasner in the transfer market.

Michael Olise has joined Bayern Munich already this window, coming as the first huge exit during the summer.

The Frenchman may not be the only one set to leave Selhurst Park, as Eberechi Eze has been linked with a move to Tottenham.

On top of that, the latest reports have claimed that Marc Guehi is the subject of talks over a move to Premier League rivals Newcastle.

Negotiations are believed to be opened between Crystal Palace and the Magpies, though it remains to be seen if the deal will be secured.

Marc Guehi may not be the only star making his way to the north-east of England this summer, with another defender on their radar along with a few other clubs.

Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle eye Joachim Andersen transfer

While the battle for Guehi continues, reports have stated that his defensive partner Joachim Andersen is also courting interest.

According to CaughtOffside, a trio of Premier League clubs – Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle – are monitoring the Danish international as a potential transfer target.

Andersen, 28, cost Crystal Palace just £17million to sign from Olympique Lyon in 2021 and has been a stalwart ever since.

The centre-back has made 112 appearances for the Eagles, scoring three goals and assisting six in that time.

Alongside Guehi, Andersen has just two years left on his contract at Selhurst Park.

Should Crystal Palace sell Joachim Andersen?

The future of Crystal Palace’s backline appears to be uncertain, not least with Guehi and Andersen linked with exits.

As the pair only have two years remaining on their current contracts, it leaves Dougie Freedman in a precarious situation.

A new deal will likely have to be struck or else attention may well turn towards sales to avoid losing key players on a free transfer.

The future of Andersen is directly linked to that of Guehi, as the sale of one may well prompt to keeping the other.

Until there’s clarity on that, there will be some doubts surrounding any sale.

In the backup, Palace already have Chris Richards and Chadi Riad able to take their place if required.
