Arsenal would have prepared to make a movement for Captain of Crystal Palace Marc Guehi in the summer transfer window, while Mikel Arteta seeks to further strengthen his defensive options before next season.
With the Gunners competition on several fronts, Arteta wishes to add depth to its background line. Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba trained a formidable partnership, but with injuries always a concern and people like Jakub Kiwior, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White often deployed in different roles, Arsenal to see Guehi as perfect strengthening.
According to Spanish FichajesArsenal considers the 23 -year -old player – who is also loved by Newcastle and Tottenham – as a reliable addition to their team. His leadership, his composure on the ball and experience in the Premier League make him a main candidate to register in the Arteta system transparently.
Guehi was one of the artists outside the palace competition this season, making 23 appearances while scoring three goals.
His dominant presence at the rear drew the attention of other heavyweights in the Premier League, Tottenham and Newcastle would have made offers refused earlier in the season.

It is believed that Liverpool also watched him as a long -term potential successor by Virgil Van Dijk, while Manchester United and Chelsea keep his situation closely. A return to Stamford Bridge, where he went through the Academy of Young people but has never played a championship match, could also be an attractive perspective.
With Arsenal to put pressure for major trophies, securing defensive reinforcements will be the key. Guehi’s ability to manage high pressure situations was obvious during Euro 2024, where he shone on the international scene of England. At just 24 years old and already with 121 Premier League appearances and 22 caps in England, it is easy to see why Guehi attracted so much attention.
