Welcome back to Rating the Rumor, which accomplishes exactly what the name implies. We’ll make the largest transfer.

With the ground rules established, let’s take a look at Marc Guehi’s move to Tottenham. The Daily Mail has recently reported on this.Rumours concerning Premier League teams, as well as a rating on the chance of the moves becoming a reality.

The final rating will be determined based on the player’s probable fit within the rumored buying club, the club’s need to sign a player for the position played, and whether the player is currently on the market.

Welcome back to Rating the Rumour, which does precisely that. Guehi is a fairly clear fit for this Tottenham club, capable of playing either side of a two-man combination and more than capable of working in a back three. With his ability to play out from the back, he would also fit Ange Postecoglou’s preferred build-up style from deep positions.

Guehi, an excellent organiser at the back, would also offer leadership and solid communication to a Tottenham club that has lacked both at times. We’ll make the largest transfer. We will not consider the rumour’s veracity because it would very certainly result in outrage from outlets, journalists, and “journalists” who would have to be called out as spoofers.

Welcome back to Rating the Rumor, where we do precisely that. Tottenham does not require a starting central defender. Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven are among the finest players in the Premier League, and early indications suggest that their combo has the potential to be as excellent as any in the league. Guehi is probably too talented to be a backup, let alone a “third starter” who splits games.

He is stylistically and physically closer to Romero than Van de Ven, and he lacks the elite-level pace that the perfect Van de Ven backup would have to allow Tottenham to play the same way without the gigantic Dutchman. Spurs could be better off spending the money it has.

Welcome back to Rating the Rumor, where we do precisely that. Guehi is one of the top Premier League defenders and would be an outstanding addition to any club. Tottenham are one of the few clubs with two high-calibre starters, but adding someone of his caliber to their squad would undoubtedly assist them.

He is more similar to him both stylistically and physically.

Welcome back to Rating the Rumour, in which we discuss why Palace will demand a high fee for Guehi. He’s 23, an England international, and he’s already established himself as one of the Premier League’s top defenders. They spent £18 million for him in the summer of 2021 and will demand nearly quadruple that amount to part with a player under contract until 2026, especially as Chelsea included a sell-on percentage in the deal that brought him to Selhurst Park.

It is unknown whether Spurs are in a position to invest so much money after spending extensively in the summer and having other demands that may be more important.Guehi is one of the Premier League’s greatest defenders.

Welcome back to Rating the Rumor, where we do precisely that. Palace would certainly want to keep Guehi and build around him, as well as Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, Dean Henderson, Joachim Anderson, and Cheick Doucoure. That core of six might be the beginning of something very exceptional, especially if young players like Ahamada and Franca can break into the first 11. Unfortunately, Palace are a stepping stone club, and all of those players will eventually go if they grab the attention of the big clubs. That is the football food chain.Guehi will command a high price from Palace. He’s 23, an England international, and he’s already established himself as one of the Premier League’s top defenders. They spent £18 million for him in 2007.

Welcome back to Rating the Rumor, where we do precisely that. Overall, this rumour gets an 8 out of 10. Guehi would improve Spurs’ situation at centre-back, but spending the money required to get him may not be the best move for the North London club, especially when they have other needs, such as another central defender to ensure that Eric Dier and Ben Davies are not relied on again.
