Arsenal is showing interest in at least two Crystal Palace players, and there’s a possibility that the Gunners could sign at least one of them at the end of this season.
While they have previously targeted Eberechi Eze, it seems that Mikel Arteta’s focus has shifted more towards signing Marc Guehi and Michael Olise this summer.
Guehi is widely regarded as one of the finest defenders in the Premier League and is attracting interest from several top clubs.
Arsenal is eager to compete for his signature and is confident that they can win the race to bring the defender to the Emirates.
However, Guehi is not the only Palace player on Arsenal’s radar; Olise is also a target for the Gunners.
Yet, with Crystal Palace undergoing changes under their new manager, Oliver Glasner, there’s a growing concern that they might no longer be willing to sell their best players, as suggested by Paul Robinson.
He tells Football Insider:
“The board may look at that and try to keep their best players, including Olise, Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi.
“Whether they can do that or not is tough – they will always be tested with bids.
“Olise has top suitors out there for him – Arsenal, Man United.
“Any of the top six would take him, it just depends on Palace’s ambitions.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Guehi and Olise are two of the finest players at Palace at the moment, and they have been in impressive form for the Eagles so far. This will make it difficult for us to sign him.

On another note
Who saw Douglas Luiz tonight
Truly awful
Don’t think Mikel is serous please
I don’t think Luis has ever been good to begin with,
Half his goals are penalties.
With Mbappe arriving at Madrid, I’d push for Tchouaméni.
Or Bruno G given Newcastle’s financial issues.
But of course we have financial issues of our own since we also need to cough up $35m for Raya
Very good player, he will surely give Saka something to think about but he’s too injury prone!!!
As a matter of fact, it is on record which had shown that Crystal Palace don’t want to sell any of the top quality player who they have in their ranks to Arsenal.
Unai Emery’s coached Arsenal team had wanted Arsenal board to sign the then Crystal Palace’s top rated quality ace left winger Louis Zaha for his Arsenal team.
But Roy Hugdson the Crystal Palace manager at that time. Had in collaboration with Steve Parish, the Crystal Palace owner. Vehemently made absolutely sure that Louis Zaha an Arsenal fan for that matter didn’t join Arsenal.
This reportedly had happened despite that Arsenal were willing and ready to pay more than £80m to CP to sign Zaha.
An pleasant situation experienced by Arsenal which had them forced to go after the signing of Nicolas PePe instead.
So therefore, I will want to advice Arteta and Edu to not waste their productive time to ask the Arsenal board to sign one or two of CP’s Michael Olise. Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze for Arsenal in the next summer transfer window.
For, Steve Parish, the CP owner will block any attempt made by Arsenal to sign one or two of the above mentioned CP’s players.
I think what Steve Parish had done to Chelsea to scuttled their moves to sign Olise when they wanted to sign him last summer. should be a lesson that Arsenal should be aware of it. But Arsenal should not learn this lesson.
First of all, the Zaha that played for Palace was Wilf, not Louis. Secondly, the club made a counter offer to the player which he accepted. They wanted him to stay because he was likely the difference in avoiding relegation back then, not any anti-arsenal sentiment. The reason they counter offered Olise last season was that his release clause then was clearly too low. Also, Chelsea being a basket case, the player wasn’t too keen. Olise has a higher release clause now and, assuming bids meet its terms, it will be up to the player whether to accept.

With Timber looking very likely to return to the Gunners team group next summer.
If he does return to the group fully recovered from the season long Acl injury that he had. And he is fully fit to start matches for Arsenal next season’s campaign.
But would there be the need for Arteta to have Arsenal signed a new top quality CB and in particular Marc Guehi for that matter for his Arsenal team squad next summer?
My personal answer to the question that I’ve asked is NO! But Arteta may have a different answer to my question asked.
But the Arsenal defence that will have Raya, Ramsdale, Hein, White, Saliba, Magalhaes, Tomiyansu, Zinchenko, Kiwior and Timber. (Never mind about Soares.) Need upgrading next summer if all the 10 remain at the club?
Well! The Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta knows best
nevertheless, in my own thinking and opinion. Arsenal SHOULD keep all the 10 defensive players of theirs who I’ve listed their names above.
But sign a new top quality defensive holding midfielder next summer as replacement to Mo Elneny.
Then sign a new top class quality versatile winger. Who can efficiently operates from both wings. Or alternatively, keep Marquinho who they’ve loaned to a Brazilian club side. When he returns to Arsenal next summer. To see what Arteta will do as regards to his Arsenal career. But I urge Arteta to keep him when he returns.
But would Arteta offload Reiss Nelson on sale or loan next summer? That I don’t know.
However, I want Arteta to ask the Arsenal board to sign a clinical finish regular top league goals scorer, for his team squad next summer transfer window unfailing. Who he will be playing to replace Eddie Nkethia. And who SHOULD be offloadefl next summer. But not the Gunners workerholic centreforward player Gabriel Jesus. Who is rumoursly said to has been transfer listed by Arsenal to leave the club next summer.
True? But if the rumour is true. And it happened that he left the club next summer alongside Nkethia too.
That could mean that Arsenal will be ruthless in the next summer window to sign two new world class strikers. In addition to Karl Havertz who they already have in the striker’s position making 3 of them next season.
