Arsenal and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in 24-year-old Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in the summer transfer window.

Marc Guehi is expected to leave Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window, and he is entering the final 12 months of his contract. According to a report by Football Insider, the UEFA Euro 2024 finalist is on the radar of Arsenal and Newcastle United.

It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can sign the 24-year-old. The Englishman has shown his ability in the Premier League, and he helped Crystal Palace win the FA Cup in the 2024/25 season. Guehi has the ability to play for the best clubs in the country, and he could improve Arsenal and Newcastle.

However, he will seek regular game time next season. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can provide him with that opportunity. They have multiple quality defenders at their disposal, and usurping William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes may be unlikely.

On the other hand, Newcastle United looked vulnerable at the back in the 2024/25 season, and they need a reliable centre-back. The 24-year-old could help them tighten up defensively and push for trophies next season.

Newcastle United could use Guehi

Newcastle will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next term, and they will look to do well in the domestic competitions as well. The Magpies won the EFL Cup this past season, and they will look to win more trophies next year. They need to sign quality players for that to happen. Signing one of the best defenders in the Premier League would be a wise decision.

It will be interesting to see where the defender ends up. Both clubs will be hoping to sign a player of his quality, especially now that he is available for a reasonable amount of money. He has been linked with a return to his former club Chelsea as well. It will be interesting to see if the Blues come forward with an offer to bring him back to the club.

The 24-year-old defender is still relatively young, and he could improve further with coaching and experience. He could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for Arsenal and Newcastle United. Both clubs have an exciting project and talented squads at their disposal. It will be interesting to see what the player decides.
