HERE WE GO: Arsenal finally chose between Gyokeres and Sesko, agree personal terms with their preferred option- Player has done already completed his medical and will be announced tomorrow

Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, as per The Athletic.

The Eagles have been signing talented young players and providing them with the platform to develop before cashing-in for a big profit. Michael Olise was the prime example of that, and he joined Bayern Munich last summer.

Moreover, the South London club currently have Eberechi Eze, Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta, who have been attracting a lot of attention in this transfer window.

Now, The Athletic report that Arsenal have earmarked Guehi as a priority target to reinforce the backline and could make a concrete approach this summer.

The 24-year-old has been a key player in Crystal Palace’s starting eleven since joining from Chelsea back in 2021. He helped them win the FA Cup trophy by defeating Manchester City in the final last term, and as a result, they have qualified for the Europa League next season.

However, due to multi-ownership issues, they are at risk of losing their spot in this competition.

Speculation surrounding Guehi’s future has been emerging in recent times as his existing deal with the South London club will expire at the end of next season.

Guehi to Arsenal

Newcastle United made a concrete approach to sign him last summer, but Crystal Palace eventually managed to keep hold of him.

However, considering he will enter the final 12 months of his current contract, they might be open to letting him leave this summer to avoid losing him for free next year. It has been reported that Oliver Glasner’s side could accept a fee of around £40m for him.

Arsenal are already well-resourced in their defensive department, still it appears Mikel Arteta is planning to add more depth in this area.

The North London club reportedly expressed interest in signing Dean Huijsen, but Real Madrid eventually won the race. So, after missing out on the Spain international, Arsenal have shifted their focus onto the Englishman.

Guehi is a talented player and has proven his worth in the Premier League in recent years. Therefore, he would be a shrewd acquisition for Arsenal should they purchase him this summer.
