Manchester United are targeting a move for Marc Guehi ahead of the January transfer window.
Erik ten Hag is keen on strengthening at centre-back, with Harry Maguire's future uncertain and first-choice pair Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez already suffering injuries this season.
And according to Football Insider, Crystal Palace defender Guehi is the man he wants.
The Chelsea academy graduate has been impressive ever since signing for Palace in 2021, featuring in all but four of their 84 league games in that time.
And his form has piqued the interest of England manager Gareth Southgate, who has started him in three of the Three Lions' last five matches, including last month's 3-1 win against Scotland.
It is believed that Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham have all held a background interest in signing the 23-year-old in recent windows.
Considering that he is on a contract that runs until 2026, it will take a sizable fee to prise him away from South London.
But the Red Devils are still hoping to see off the considerable competition by making an early move.
