Arsenal are tipped to consider launching an eleventh-hour offer for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi.
Over the last few seasons – Arteta has got this Arsenal side from challenging for a top six side into challenging for that Premier League title – something that nobody could have predicted.
There is still alot of speculation surrounding the players that Arteta will look to sign during the summer, especially now that summer signing Jurrien Timber has picked up an injury and could be out for some time
That has led to some rumours in the media which have claimed that Arsenal and Manchester United are both ready to battle it out for the signature of Guehi – who has been impressing at Palace.
The Eagles are confident of keeping the four-cap Englishman, 23, but according to reports on the SUN – Arsenal hare the club most likely to get a deal done.
The 6ft defender joined Palace for £18million n a five-year deal from Chelsea in July 2021.
Jeremie Aliadiere recently claimed that Guehi would be a good signing for the club – He told Premier League Betting: “I think Marc Guehi would be a great signing. He’s been fantastic this season, he’s strong and he can play so he has every attribute to become a top player.
“Saliba and Gabriel have been fantastic, but when Saliba started getting injured, that was when things started going wrong.
“I’m not saying Rob Holding hasn’t performed, but at that level it’s little details that make a big difference so I think he’d be great.
“It all depends on what Arteta has in mind. Will he like to rotate or keep his starting-XI? But it’s tough to stay match-fit as a centre-back. As a forward you get chances to come on more.”
