‘Would Be A Great Signing’‘Won’t Be Cheap With Chelsea Having A Sell On Clause’Fans Discuss Arsenal’s Interest In England Defender

Arsenal are scouting Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according to multiple reports in the English media.

The England international is being considered by the Gunners as they look to provide competition for William Saliba. Rob Holding has not performed well in the Frenchman’s absence and bringing in a player like Guehi would be seen as a good solution.

As one supporter mentions, Chelsea do have a sell-on clause on Guehi so it remains to be seen how much the centre-back would cost. Arsenal are unlikely to pay through the nose for someone who may only be a backup option.

If he can be brought in for a reasonable fee, though, it seems to be a sensible idea. Despite his young age, he is a leader, having captained Palace on several occasions this campaign, while he is closing on 150 senior games.
