Arsenal are considering a bid for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as Mikel Arteta's side look for defensive back-up amid concerns over William Saliba's long-term fitness

Arsenal are maintaining a watching brief on Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

The Gunners want a centre-back amid concerns over William Saliba's long-term fitness while Rob Holding's contract is up next year.

Saliba's absence has been a cause for concern for Arsenal in the run-in of the Premier League season, with Holding struggling to deputise for the Frenchman.

Arsenal fans have bemoaned their lack of squad depth as a reason for their title charge falling off, with the Gunners expected to strengthen in the summer.

Guehi has been a regular for Palace this season, often captaining the side as they head for another mid-table finish in the Premier League.
