Arsenal ready to enter race for Marc Guehi

Arsenal are ready to join Manchester City and Liverpool in the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according to The Mirror.

The London giants looked at signing the 25-year-old last summer, but could not convince the centre-back due to concerns over playing time.

The club have continued to monitor his situation and are prepared to make a fresh approach for the Englishman, whose contract expires next summer.

Manchester City are in pole position to land the former Chelsea man this month and they could secure an agreement for around £40 million.

Liverpool are likewise monitoring the talented defender, and could battle it out with the Cityzens for his services. It is unclear whether Arsenal would pay such a fee or bide their time until the summer to land him on a free.

The Gunners are ready to pitch their plans for the highly-rated star. They could seek to convince him to wait until the summer to join them on a Bosman deal.
