The England international is also a target for Manchester City, but it appears he is taking his time to make a decision on his future.
Speaking of his YouTube channelRomano explained the latest news on the Guehi situation as he made it clear that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a big fan of the 25-year-old.
However, it appears that Arsenal’s attempts to sign Guehi are more likely to be focused on signing him in the summer rather than now, while City will certainly look to bring him in as soon as possible to cover for injured defensive duo Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.
What Fabrizio Romano has said about Arsenal’s interest in signing Marc Guehi
Romano gave an update on the Guehi saga: “City are really convinced that they can reach an agreement with Palace, but it is the player who has to decide and Marc Guehi is taking time with his family and his agents and considering all opportunities, as Arsenal have already called for a possible deal this summer.
“Arteta is a big fan of the player. That’s why Arsenal are interested. Mikel Arteta really believes he is a top player, but Arsenal also have a lot of players in that position. And that’s a point.”
“Then there’s the general interest from Liverpool. They had a deal done last summer… Liverpool definitely remain interested in Marc Guehi so it will certainly be one to watch.”
How do Arsenal find space for Marc Guehi?
Arsenal already have so many top defenders that it is difficult to imagine how Guehi would fit into Arteta’s squad.
City or Liverpool could certainly make Guehi a bigger player, while Arsenal already have a first-choice centre-back in William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, as well as good depth players like Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori and Cristhian Mosquera.
However, AFC legend Sol Campbell has backed the move, telling Sky Bet: “Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi is a top player. I know Liverpool are sniffing around him. That’s someone I would like to inquire about.”
