Football rumours: London rivals fight for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi

By PA Sport Staff

Tottenham have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race for 22-year-old Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, the Evening Standard writes.

Guehi was a part of the England international squad in March and has already captained his club on multiple occasions.

Staying in London, Tottenham’s bid for former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann may have hit a speedbump because of the uncertainty surrounding the clubs sporting director position, The Telegraph reports.

The Times say if former West Brom manager Sam Allardyce can keep Leeds in the Premier League he could reportedly earn a bonus of more than £2.5million and has asked a former Oxford manager to be his assistant at the club.

Karl Robinson was at Oxford for five years before losing his job in February after the club did not record a victory for eight straight games.
