The Telegraph report that Arsenal have now joined the race for his signature this summer, making it a seriously heavyweight scrap to sign the central defender.

The report states that Guehi is likely to cost ‘more than £55m’ and Chelsea have the right to match any bids for him as part of the deal that took him from Stamford Bridge to Selhurst Park in 2021.

On Guehi’s recovery, Palace manager Olver Glasner suggested he could be back in full training this week and may be in the squad to host Manchester United on 6 May.

‘He did parts of the sessions this week, but our sessions are 35 minutes. When we play Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday, it is just recovery sessions,’ Glasner said last Wednesday.

‘We expect him (fully) back with the team next week and then let’s see how he feels. We don’t want to risk anything but it can be that he is in the squad against Man United. Let’s see.

‘We want him to play minutes in this season but always the health of the player is most important. We never risk anything.’
