Arsenal preparing bid for £50m defender who has been ‘fantastic’ at Euro 2024

Arsenal are now preparing a bid for a defender who has already starred during his opening performance at Euro 2024.

Following their failed pursuit of Benjamin Sesko th🔥is month, it seems as if Arsenal’s ♍transfer priorities have now shifted.

A central midfielder is now believed to be the focus oℱf the Arsenal’s summer, a signing that will dominate the club🌳’s spending.


However, Edu will also then be attempting to improve squad depth in several areas, perhaps signing a defender and a win🐬ger to boot. 

Neither William Saliba at the back or Bukayo Saka on the right have adequate cover – two players Mikel Arteta simply can’t cope without.


And it would see꧟m ill-advised for Arsenal to begin the new season without a solution.

Fortunately, it’s now being reported that Arsenal have established a formidable target to strengthen their defence, Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.

Tha🅷t’s according to , who say t🌠hat Arsenal are now preparing an opening bid.

ไHowever, the Gunners aren’t inclined to meet Palaceꩲ’s £50m asking price right now.

Both Arsenal ☂and Newcastle United are said to be interested in Guehi, who looks ready to move on from Palace.

Oliver Glasner’s new era at the south London club has deservedly caused a lot of excitement, but Guehi has often displayed his🎃 readiness to join a top club.

And having excelled at Euro 20🦩24 in England’s opening 1-0 win against Serbia, it’s clear to see why Arsenal are reportedly interested.

Guehi played as the left-side centre-back on this occasion, demonstrating his versatility as a💫 right-footer.

The England man, who Kyle Walker described as ‘’ after his 90 minutes on Monday, would be a sup🌃erb addition were he initially 💧willing to fight for his place.

Guehi would immediately become the first-choice alternative to Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, an area of the squad that really lacks depth.

Perhaps Guehi may believe that disrupting Saliba and Gabriel’s partnership is an insurmountable t🌠ask, but Mikel Arteta has shown a willingness to drop the B꧒razilian previously.

And with so much football for Arsenal to🥃 play during another Champions League season, there would certainly be opportunities for Guehi to proᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚve his worth.

All that being said, Arsenal have now convinced on🌸e ‘excellent’ player to sign a new contract and stay.
