England defender Marc Guehi’s future is expected to be resolved in the next 48 hours with Crystal Palace and Newcastle in advanced talks over a near £70million swoop.
More discussions between the two clubs took place on Monday and Mail Sport has learned that an agreement is close.
If Palace accept Newcastle’s next bid, it will be up to Guehi to decide whether he wants to leave London for Tyneside ahead of discussing personal terms.
Guehi is Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe’s No 1 transfer target this summer and the club have been working tirelessly to deliver his signing.
