According to The Times, Arsenal have set their sights on Marc Guehi as Crystal Palace express concerns about the defender leaving Selhurst Park this summer.
Arsenal sees an opportunity to make a move for Guehi due to his current deal having only two years left and no imminent extension in sight.
Reports suggest that Mikel Arteta’s team is prepared to make a move for the talented defender.
Guehi, who has not played since February due to a knee injury, may still have a chance of featuring before the season concludes.
The 23-year-old, with nine caps for England, was likely to be part of Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad this summer, pending his fitness confirmation.
Big clubs have taken notice of Guehi’s performances for both Crystal Palace and the national team.
While Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool have been linked to the defender, Arsenal’s interest has gained momentum.
Manchester United aims to secure a new defender in the upcoming transfer window as they embark on a squad overhaul.
Crystal Palace reportedly seeks £55 million from Guehi’s potential sale, sparking interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.
Although Arsenal’s interest in Guehi seems valid, it may be wiser for them to focus on other positions in need of reinforcement.
Arsenal’s Recruitment Strategy
Arteta and Arsenal’s sporting director Edu have a track record of strategic recruitment decisions, suggesting they may have a plan for Guehi if they pursue the defender.
