Arsenal could be set to strengthen their defensive backline this summer, as the club are interested in a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according to the Mail.

The Gunners will be looking for extra reinforcements in their backline, as they have been conceding goals freely since the absence of William Saliba.

Arsenal interested in Marc Guehi

Mikel Arteta could be looking to strengthen his backline this summer, as there are growing doubts surrounding the fitness of William Saliba. Since the Frenchman’s injury, the Gunners have been forced to play Rob Holding, who has struggled for consistency alongside Gabriel.

It is an area that the Gunners will be keen to strengthen this summer after watching their title challenge falter due to defensive issues. Guehi is a player that has impressed for the Eagles throughout the season, as Palace looks on course for yet another mid-table finish in the Premier League.

Arsenal will be assessing a number of defensive options this summer, as only Southampton has kept fewer home clean sheets in the Premier League this term.
