Crystal Palace Bracing for Marc Guehi Exit Amid Arsenal Links
*London, England – October 12, 2024*
Crystal Palace are reportedly growing increasingly resigned to losing their star defender, Marc Guehi, as interest from Arsenal intensifies. The 24-year-old center-back, who has impressed with his solid performances for Palace, is now heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
Guehi’s consistent displays have made him one of the Premier League’s standout defenders, catching the eye of Arsenal, who are looking to bolster their defensive ranks. The former Chelsea academy player has been pivotal for Palace, particularly in last season’s clashes such as the match against Everton in April 2023, where he showcased his ball control and defensive leadership.
Despite Crystal Palace’s efforts to keep him, the club is becoming increasingly resigned to his departure, with Arsenal preparing to make a serious bid in the upcoming transfer window. Guehi’s departure would be a significant blow to Roy Hodgson’s side, but a move to Arsenal could offer the player the chance to compete at the highest level, including European football.
As the transfer rumors heat up, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to finalize a deal for the 24-year-old defender, but the signs point to a potential January move.
