Newcastle 'close' to major breakthrough as Crystal Palace receive fourth Marc Guehi bid

Some big claims have arrived this morning on Marc Guehi, with a Friday morning report claiming that a fourth bid has been lodged for the Crystal Palace star.

According to The Mail's Chief reporter Sami Mokbel - who has been covering the Guehi saga for a few weeks now - Newcastle's improved offer is closer to Palace's £65m asking price and could be accepted.

Crucially, he reveals that the Eagles have not immediately dismissed our latest bid, with sources close to the deal believing that a 'breakthrough is close' as we continue to pursue the 24-year-old England international.

The value of our fourth bid is not confirmed, but this comes after our third offer - worth £55m plus £5m in add-ons - was rejected by Crystal Palace earlier this week.

After two weeks of talks, bids and frustration for Newcastle fans as we wait for a much needed upgrade, let's hope this one gets it done and Guehi is on his way to St James' Park soon.
