Arsenal is interested in Chelsea player Noni Madueke, while Liverpool is evaluating Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing Chelsea star Noni Madueke, according to The Telegraph. The Gunners had initially set their sights on Nico Williams, but with the Spanish winger expected to join Barcelona, Mikel Arteta’s side is now exploring alternative options, with Madueke emerging as a potential target.

The Telegraph notes, “Arsenal are understood to have made checks on a number of different players, which makes it hard to gauge the strength of their interest in Madueke and whether they will pursue him.” While Chelsea have not officially put Madueke on the market, there is speculation that the 23-year-old could be sold this summer, as he is not deemed untouchable by the club.

Despite Arsenal’s interest, Chelsea have yet to receive any formal approach or engage in talks with their London rivals regarding Madueke. However, it is believed that Arsenal are among several clubs monitoring his situation. With a number of teams looking to bolster their attacking options, Madueke’s versatility to play on both the right and left flanks makes him an appealing prospect.

Newcastle United and Madueke’s former club, Tottenham Hotspur, are also in the hunt for wide players, while Manchester United are optimistic about securing Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, despite late interest from Spurs. Arsenal, meanwhile, are keen to add a wide player and a striker to their ranks this summer, with the pursuit of Nico Williams now seemingly off the table.

In other transfer news, Viktor Gyokeres has reportedly informed his family that he expects to join Arsenal this summer, as per a report in The Sun. The Sporting CF striker has been linked with both Arsenal and Manchester United, but it appears the Gunners are leading the race for his signature.

The article states, “Viktor Gyokeres has told his family where he expects to play next season, according to reports.” The 27-year-old is set to leave Sporting Lisbon, although the club is playing hardball with an £80 million asking price. talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook mentioned, “I had a message 24 hours or so ago suggesting that Viktor Gyokeres has told friends and family he expects to join Arsenal.”

Gyokeres is reportedly considering going on strike to expedite his exit from Sporting, as he is unhappy with the club’s failure to honour a promise to sell him for £50 million, plus an additional £8 million in add-ons.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are contemplating a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this summer, as reported by The Times. The Reds could offload centre-back Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen, which would pave the way for Guehi to make a switch to Anfield.

The article elaborates, “Bayer Leverkusen are pushing to sign the centre back Jarell Quansah as Liverpool show interest in Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.” Leverkusen’s interest in Quansah is separate from their ongoing negotiations with Liverpool regarding a potential £116 million deal for Florian Wirtz, who is set to undergo a medical in England.

While Liverpool are not actively pushing Quansah out, they are considering alternatives, with Guehi being a key target. The club is keen on Guehi, and the situation surrounding Quansah and others will likely dictate whether Liverpool’s interest in the England international intensifies now or if they choose to monitor his situation, especially since he would be available on a free transfer in 12 months.
