"Arsenal are reportedly keeping an eye on Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as they're ready to enter the race for his signature. It is not yet entirely clear if the Gunners would move for Guehi now or wait until he becomes a free agent in the summer, but it seems there is genuine interest. Manchester City look the favourites to land the England international this January, but it seems Arsenal will be alongside the likes of Liverpool as among the player's suitors too."
"It must be said, however, that it's hard to see why Arsenal would need to sign Guehi given their incredible strength in depth in defence already. Mikel Arteta has one of the best centre-back pairings in world football in the form of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, while he has very capable backup options there in Piero Hincapie, Cristhian Mosquera, and versatile players like Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber and Ben White who could also fill in there."
Arsenal are monitoring Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi and are prepared to enter the race for his signature, with uncertainty over an immediate move or a summer free transfer. Manchester City are favourites to sign the England international in January, and Liverpool are also among his suitors after close interest in the summer. Arsenal possess significant defensive depth with William Saliba and Gabriel as a top pairing and backups including Piero Hincapie, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber and Ben White. Guehi is likely to move only to a club offering first-choice status, which makes City or Liverpool more probable destinations. A Guehi transfer could influence the title race by providing cover for injured City defenders and potentially affecting points dropped by Manchester City.
