Arsenal wants to defeat Manchester United at the Marc Guehi Stadium. Though Riccardo Calafiori of Bologna is Mikel Arteta’s priority goal, the Spaniard is hoping to add at least one new center back, and Guehi is still a possibility. The defender for Crystal Palace has seen tremendous success lately. The 24-year-old, who starred for England in the Euros this summer, appears to be the Eagles’ next major acquisition.
The news that Marseille has started the signing process for Eddie Nketiah is another important consideration. That the striker would be included in a trade for Guehi is quite unlikely, since he is rumoured to be eager to move to France. In addition to Nketiah’s intense desire to establish himself as a regular starter for the Eagles, they are in dire need of a new number nine.
Arsenal set for £25m ‘discount’ on Marc Guehi transfer deal
Palace is reportedly offering £70 million for the former Chelsea defender, and Mikel Arteta’s group is trying to negotiate a reduction in that sum. Securing a discount on any prospective deal is one way that could occur.
The Daily Express reports that the Sunday Star claims that the Gunners are thinking of making Eddie Nketiah an offer as part of a player-plus-cash deal that would see the striker relocate to south London. The 25-year-old has been linked to Palace in the past, and they are one of the suitors who are expected to give him consistent playing time.
