Alan Shearer believes Newcastle United’s Premier League position could hinge on whether or not Marc Guehi joins the club.
The Magpies are prepared to start the new Premier League season against Southampton on Saturday, as their pursuit of Marc Guehi continues in the background.
Newcastle have submitted their fourth proposal for Guehi, with the belief that a major breakthrough is on the way. Following the rejection of a £60 million bid, the current approach is closer to Crystal Palace’s asking price of £65 million.
It will be a massive deal if Newcastle can pull it happen, as Eddie Howe is looking to add a right-sided centre-back to his team.
Marc Guehi is the top target, and Alan Shearer believes the 24-year-old will help bring Champions League football back to St James’ Park.
