Arsenal transfer latest: Marc Guehi stance emerges as double deal could be completed

Arsenal are linked with Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet while Marc Guehi favours Liverpool and the Gunners, according to reports

With just three weeks remaining until the January transfer window shuts, Mikel Arteta is considering potential additions to his Arsenal squad. The Gunners are having a stellar season and have been linked with bolstering their ranks during the winter transfer window.

Arteta's side secured a 4-1 victory over Portsmouth in the FA Cup third round on Sunday afternoon, advancing to the fourth round of the tournament.

With a six-point lead at the Premier League summit, Arsenal are now gearing up for their Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea later this week.

In terms of transfers, numerous players have already been linked with a move to Arsenal, a trend expected to continue until the February 2 deadline.

Marc Guehi transfer speculation

Arsenal are reportedly one of two possible destinations for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. As the January transfer window unfolds, Guehi's future has become a topic of debate, especially after a failed £35million deadline day switch to Liverpool last September.

The Athletic reports that Arsenal and Liverpool are the clubs Guehi is interested in joining, though not until the summer when his contract runs out.

Athletic journalist Sam Lee revealed on the Let Me Talk podcast: "On Monday night, I was told by somebody who knows what's going on at City, but also I think probably Palace as well, he said he thinks Guehi wants to stay until the summer and he prefers Liverpool [to City] in any case.

"Somebody else messaged me on Twitter and I know he's very good on other club stuff, he was like: 'Yeah, he wants to stay until the summer - and he prefers Liverpool and Arsenal'.

Guehi, 25, has featured in 20 Premier League matches this season and is expected to be included in Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup squad this summer.

Ligue 1 defender 'wanted'

Arsenal are said to be competing with Liverpool for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. Football Insider have reported that the Gunners are joining the Merseyside club and Chelsea in showing interest in signing Jacquet.

Chelsea have been linked with Jacquet for several months, but it now appears that Arsenal and Liverpool have entered the race to bring in the highly-rated defender.
