Centre-back impressed in two loan spells at Swansea
Guéhi says Palace ‘taking an exciting direction’ under Vieira

Marc Guéhi has completed an £18m move from Chelsea to Crystal Palace, signing a five-year deal with the Eagles. The 21-year-old impressed in two loan spells at Swansea and becomes one of the first recruits of Patrick Vieira’s managerial tenure at Selhurst Park.

“I’m very excited, it’s a great opportunity for me to come to such a big club in the Premier League,” said Guehi. “I’m really excited to get going. The club is taking a really exciting direction with the new gaffer that’s come in. A lot of good young players are here and obviously such a stable club with top players really enticed me and made me want to come.”
