The Crystal Palace captain and England international has entered the last 18 months of his contract and suitors are emerging once again

Chelsea are monitoring Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi as they weigh up a move to bolster their defensive options this month, sources have told ESPN.

Glen: The team have to be more consistent. The first half was far too respectful and we just let Chelsea play. The second half was like watching a different team. The energy and pace of the play was excellent and what is needed. Overall, it was a decent match. My only worry is the lack of depth in the squad at the moment.

Chelsea want to use Trevoh Chalobah as makeweight in a swap deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, MailOnline journalist Sami Mokbel has reported. The Blues reportedly want to sign the Eagles skipper in January and are prepared to offer Chalobah, who is currently on loan at Selhurst Park, in return.

Crystal Palace rescued a point at Selhurst Park after Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a late equaliser to hold Chelsea to a 1-1 draw and extend their run without a win. The Blues looked in control of the game after a first half strike from Cole Palmer ended up in the back of the net after some individual brilliance from Jadon Sancho on the right wing.

Chelsea are planning to use defender Trevoh Chalobah as a bargaining chip in their pursuit of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi.
