"Arsenal have approached Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi about a free transfer to the Emirates Stadium in the summer. As first reported in my Daily Briefing exclusive here, Guehi is a target for Manchester City this January, but has not yet made a final decision on a move. The England international has been taking his time over a possible exit this month, and the feeling from my sources in the industry is that he's leaning towards waiting until becoming a free agent in the summer."
"That could give Arsenal the edge in the race to sign Guehi, though Liverpool have also previously been in a strong position for the 25-year-old. City have made a bid and want Guehi to join now, my source said. The fee is not expected to be an issue, but the player isn't fully on board. Arsenal have been in his ear about waiting until the summer and although there's been no final decision yet, that's generally felt to be the direction he's leaning towards."
Arsenal have approached Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi about a free transfer to the Emirates Stadium in the summer. Manchester City have made a bid to sign Guehi this January, but the player has not made a final decision and appears inclined to wait until his contract expires. Liverpool and Bayern Munich have also shown interest, which could lead Guehi to keep his options open until becoming a free agent. Arsenal have actively pursued him and have previously persuaded other targets to join, while Arsenal's existing defensive depth could limit Guehi's immediate starting opportunities.
