Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has insisted the club will not pay "silly" money for transfer targets as talks over a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi continue.

Speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning, as reports suggested the Magpies had made a fourth bid for the £65million-rated England international, head coach Howe admitted they would not be held to ransom over any player.
