While Newcastle would love to bring Guehi to St. James’ Park, they have been unable to get a bid accepted by Palace.

“We’re always very respectful when we get a bid for a player,” Parish told talkSPORT. 

“We’re very respectful of Newcastle United and Paul Mitchell is somebody I have an incredible amount of time for. 

“I’ve known him for a long time, he’s been very, very good to me in football and we have a good relationship. So, he and I have had a chat about this.

“Inevitably, the agents are involved and have got a point of view, they’re decent guys. We’ve had conversations with other clubs that have expressed interest as well.”
