Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Tim Sherwood has advised Chelsea to target Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as a replacement for Levi Colwill, who is sidelined for most of the season with a serious ACL injury.
Colwill’s long-term absence has left a defensive gap at Stamford Bridge, and Sherwood believes Chelsea should compete with Liverpool, who are also reportedly interested in signing Guehi this summer.
Speaking to BetBrain, Sherwood said: “Marc Guehi is the obvious choice for Chelsea to replace Levi Colwill at centre-back. He is a player that will hit the ground running at Chelsea, having already played in the Premier League for a few years and to a very high standard. It looks like both Liverpool and Chelsea have turned Guehi’s head away from Palace.”
The 25-year-old defender’s experience in the Premier League makes him an ideal candidate to strengthen Chelsea’s backline amid ongoing defensive injury issues.
