Arsenal ‘calling’ over Marc Guehi deal

Arsenal are interested in signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in the January transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has claimed that Arsenal have been calling over a potential deal for the England international central defender, who is out of contract at Palace at the end of the season.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “City are really convinced they can reach an agreement with Palace, but it’s the player who has to decide and Marc Guehi is taking his time with his family, with his agents, considering all the opportunities because Arsenal have been calling over a potential deal in the summer.

“Arteta is a big fan of the player. This is why Arsenal are interested. Mikel Arteta really believes he’s a top player, but Arsenal also have many players in that position. And so that’s a point.

“Then there is general interest from Liverpool. They had a deal agreed last summer … Liverpool remain absolutely interested in Marc Guehi and so it’s going to be one to watch for sure.”
