Arsenal could reportedly make a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer as they look to sign a new centre-back.
 

The 24-year-old is one of Palace's key players and has established himself as one of the Premier League's top centre-backs in recent seasons.

His performances have attracted interest from several top clubs in England and across Europe.

According to The Athletic, Marc Guehi is on Arsenal's radar as they assess potential centre-back targets.

The Gunners made a strong push to sign Dean Huijsen earlier this summer, but the young defender ultimately opted to join Real Madrid.

Should Mikel Arteta's side return to the market for defensive reinforcements, Guehi is believed to be high on their shortlist.

The defender's current contract with Palace expires next summer, which could make this the club's last realistic opportunity to secure a substantial fee for one of their star assets.
