Crystal Palace close in on signing defender Marc Guehi from Chelsea on a long-term deal with centre back to undergo his medical TODAY... but Blues 'negotiate a sell-on clause and matching rights on future move'

Crystal Palace are close to completing the signing of defender Marc Guehi from Chelsea.

The England Under-21 centre back is having a medical today ahead of a permanent switch to Selhurst Park.

According to The Athletic, Guehi will put pen to paper on a five-year deal, with Palace having tabled an offer 'too good to refuse' for Chelsea.

It is said that the Champions League winners were reluctant to part ways with their academy product, but Palace have been able to successfully wrap up talks.

While the final fee is unknown, the same report goes on to add that Guehi's value was between £15million to £20m.
