Arsenal target William Saliba competition as Edu's summer transfer plan 'revealed'

Arsenal are interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, according The Sun.

The north Londoners' Premier League title charge has taken a huge setback in recent weeks, with Manchester City now in the driving seat to clinch their fifth league title in six years. Part of the Gunners' collapse has been down to the absence of defensive stalwart William Saliba, who suffered a lower back injury last month against Sporting CP in the Europa League.

Mikel Arteta's side had conceded just 25 times in 27 league games with Saliba starting, a stark contrast to the 13 they have shipped in the six games without the French international. Rob Holding has replaced the 22-year-old and the former Bolton man has struggled to replicate the form of his predecessor, clearly not possessing the same strengths on the ball whilst also much slower than the young central defender.
