Arsenal Prepare Eddie Nketiah To Be Exchanged With England National Team Defenders

JAKARTA - Arsenal plans to recruit Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi who is playing impressively in the England national team. Arsenal prepare forward Eddie Nketiah as part of Guehi's purchase.

Guehi impressed while guarding England's defense at Euro 2024. In fact, he has always been played by manager Gareth Southgate since the beginning of the match against Serbia until the time England lost 2-1 against Spain.

A charming performance in the European Cup has attracted Guehi to many clubs. Manchester United and Liverpool are two English Premier League clubs interested in bringing in this 24-year-old defender. In fact, the two clubs have been monitoring Guehi while playing in Germany.

But Arsenal doesn't want to get along with their competitors. However, Palace set a high price of 70 million for Guehi.

The price is considered too expensive for the North London club. According to Express, Arsenal tried to include Nketiah as part of Guehi's offer. The offer seems to have received a response from Palace who really wanted Nketiah to increase the strength of the bang.

However, Palace is not in a hurry to release its players. The club is considering another offer as Liverpool are reportedly looking for a centre-back. Arne Slot's manager shows the seriousness of chasing defenders to replace Joel Matip.

Liverpool also don't want to lose quickly. The Dutch manager wants to immediately negotiate with Palace for Guehi's transfer.

Meanwhile, MU is still waiting. The reason is, the FA Cup winners are still negotiating with Bayern Munich to attract defender Matthijs De Ligt.

MU has been aiming for De Ligt for a long time since he was in Ajax Amsterdam. However, former manager Erik ten Hag, who is now coaching MU, prefers to join Juventus. From Juve, he then moved to Bayern.

Ten Hag hopes to bring his former player at Old Trafford to strengthen the back sector. Previously, MU had already obtained Leny Yoro's centre-back from Lille.
