Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is now ready to seriously consider a transfer out of Selhurst Park with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all displaying interest.

The 23-year-old is a pivotal part of the plans in south London but is also likely to be a central figure in this summer’s sales. A move away from Crystal Palace is very conceivable for Guehi and a raft of the Eagles’ key men. New boss Oliver Glasner faces a fight to keep them now.

Relegation from the Premier League would only increase the chances of Guehi and some of their top players leaving. The Eagles start the weekend just 15th in the table after 25 games and sit five points off the drop zone. So, teams are starting to position themselves for Guehi.

Guehi is ready to consider a transfer with Arsenal among the Crystal Palace star’s suitors

That is according to Dean Jones, who claims Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in agreeing Guehi’s transfer from Crystal Palace. He is also seriously ready to consider a move away from Selhurst Park after a four-year run there.

Guehi left Chelsea to join the Eagles in July 2021 having failed to establish his first-team role in west London. The Blues’ academy product only made two senior appearances in EFL Cup ties during the 2019/20 term. Guehi also spent 17 months away on loan with Swansea City.

Crystal Palace are loath to lose Guehi as they value him highly, so will demand a high asking price. The nine-cap England international has started in 22 of their Premier League matches so far this season. He also acts as the Eagles’ captain on occasion to further his importance.

Edu has long had the sought-after centre-back on his radar for a move to the Gunners

Reports by TEAMtalk back in October also cited Manchester United’s interest in Guehi. But a move for the man who Joel Ward once said has ‘the world at his feet’ will cost £75m. Crystal Palace are looking to earn a new club record for a player leaving Selhurst Park if Guehi goes.

Additionally, TEAMtalk also cited Arsenal’s interest in Guehi’s transfer back in September. It further claimed that Gunners sporting director Edu was behind the Emirates Stadium side’s pursuit. Guehi is under contract at Selhurst Park until June 2026 on his deal signed in 2021.
