No plans exist for the “absolute tank” of a defender to sign with Newcastle United in January.
During the summer transfer window, Newcastle United was mentioned in relation to bolstering their central defensive options.
Harry Maguire and Joachim Andersen were mentioned as targets, but FFP restrictions did not allow for that.
Back then, it was common for Sven Botman to sustain injuries.
Even though the Dutchman’s situation has recently improved somewhat and Jamaal Lascelles deserves praise for his efforts since filling in, Botman’s absence has highlighted Newcastle’s lack of depth at center back.
Names have thus been connected.
In fact, Marc Guehi, an England player and Crystal Palace star, has been linked to a move to St. James’ Park, but there has been an update.

Ninety-min claims that Newcastle is one of the teams pursuing the 23-year-old.
Although the report also states that Guehi has little intention of leaving Palace in January, Manchester United and Tottenham are reportedly interested.
The defender is eager to make sure he is playing enough football to secure his spot in the squad before the competition in Germany, having worked his way into the England starting lineup ahead of Euro 2024.
