Arsenal legend Sol Campbell has suggested that his old club should look into the possibility of beating Liverpool to the signing of Marc Guehi.

The Crystal Palace centre-back has established himself as a top Premier League player during his time at Selhurst Park, and there’ll be plenty of interest in him now as he nears the end of his contract.

Arsenal have been linked with Guehi by the Athletic‘s David Ornstein, and it seems Campbell would back that move ahead of other suitors like Liverpool.

“Marc Guehi at Crystal Palace is a top player. I know Liverpool are sniffing around him. That’s someone I would inquire about,” Campbell said to Sky Bet.

The Guehi links are slightly surprising given that Arsenal already have so much quality and strength in depth in defence.

The Gunners brought in Piero Hincapie and Cristhian Mosquera during the summer, and both have started well, though they’re already clearly behind William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes in the pecking order.

Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber can also all play at centre-back if needed, so it’s hard to see how...
