Manchester City are emerging as contenders to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi this month. BBC Sport understands City are exploring a move for the England centre-back in the wake of defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias suffering injuries in the draw against Chelsea on Sunday. England centre-back John Stones is also currently out injured. City will wait to discover the full extent of the Gvardiol and Dias injuries before making a final decision on whether to proceed with their interest in Guehi during the current transfer window. But sources have told BBC Sport that City's interest in Guehi, 25, has progressed and that a move in January should not be discounted.
