TOTTENHAM have made a shock bid for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi, according to reports.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side remain keen to sign a defender before tonight’s transfer deadline, despite recruiting Kevin Danso from RC Lens on Sunday.

Spurs’ defence has been decimated by injuries this season.
Cristian Romero and Radu Dragusin are both missing with long-term issues, while Micky van de Ven has only recently returned to fitness following a lengthy lay-off.
Spurs have been attempting to sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea.
According to reporter Ben Jacobs, Tottenham agreed a deal with the Blues worth around £5m to take Disasi for the rest of the season.
The Frenchman would rather join Aston Villa, however, having already agreed terms with Unai Emery‘s side.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that Tottenham are still trying for Disasi, although conflicting reports say that their pursuit is over.
Romano also adds that Spurs made an offer for Guehi in the last 48 hours.
The bid was turned down, with Tottenham likely to wait until the summer before trying again for the England star.

Guehi, 24, only has 18 months remaining on his Palace contract.
Spurs supporters have been left shocked by their Guehi bid.
One wrote on social media: “I beg ur pardon.”
While a second added: “Wow!”
Tottenham have had a busy last few days of the transfer window.
The Lilywhites agreed a £50million deal for Mathys Tel, only for the Bayern Munich forward to turn them down.
They were then snubbed by Fikayo Tomori, who opted to stay at AC Milan.
On Saturday night they hijacked Wolves’ swoop for Danso, signing the defender on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy for £20m in the summer.
The Austrian international has agreed a five-year deal that will come into effect at the end of the season.
