Liverpool's move for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi could be impacted if Arsenal decide to swoop for young French star Jeremy Jacquet.

The 20-year-old is reportedly the player that Palace are considering as a replacement for England international Guehi.

Palace are open to selling Guehi this summer.



Rumours suggest Liverpool are willing to offer £35m, yet Palace are insisting on £45m, despite the risk of the club losing him for free next summer.

As with the ongoing Alexander Isak to Liverpool saga, and in a summer dictated by the domino effect of clubs needing to bring players in before sanctioning outgoings, it's thought that Palace will want to tie down a replacement before Guehi departs.

This is due to how little time there is left in the transfer window and with Palace's system requiring three central defenders at the back.

If Palace were to act on their interest in Jacquet, as reported by The Independent, then Arsenal's hand could be forced, resulting in Palace possibly losing their replacement and having to keep Guehi at Selhurst Park.

While Arsenal were thought to be earmarking Jacquet for next season, there is a reality where the Gunners secure him now, amid Palace's interest, and loan him back to France, just as they did with William Saliba.

Arsenal could consider the young centre-back as defensive cover should Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior leave the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Another sticking point in Guehi making a move to Anfield is Rennes' insistence that Jacquet, who signed a new contract back in May, is not for sale this summer.

The French club reportedly consider him to be an important player for the future and hope he can continue his development in Ligue 1.

Speaking on the futures of Guehi and Eberechi Eze, who is closing in on a move to Tottenham Hotspur, Glasner claimed his players are currently committed to the south London club.
