It looks like things could move quickly in the Marc Guehi deal, provided the two clubs can agree on a fee.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Keith Downie was quick to clarify some statements that he made on Twitter on Monday evening. Fans thought his comments were negative, and playing down the deal. Keith, however, seems confident.
“Now the deal is public, they (Newcastle) will want to wrap it up. It’s also Mitchell’s first big deal”
Keith seems confident that a deal can be struck, with a deal expected to progress quickly once a fee is agreed. Keith also confirmed that the first bid has been rejected, but the clubs still remain at the table.
Marc Guehi is a statement
With interest from Real Madrid, Man U, Liverpool etc, it looks like Newcastle could be set to pull off another special deal. Similar to deals for Botman, Bruno, Livramento, and Isak. Newcastle United once again look set to act fast in signing a player just before he hits his peak.
The move would also, when fit, mean Newcastle United have a defence to last the next 5 years easily. With Hall, Botman, Guehi, and Livramento, Newcastle have one of the youngest defensive lines in the league on their hands. And while Nick Pope in goal is much older, that will likely be a job for a future window.
