Arsenal and Liverpool have the same £70m problem which the Premier League rival is holding firm on

According to The Guardian, Palace will demand £70m for both Guehi and Eze. This despite the fact that the defender only has two years left on his contract, with Liverpool prepared to end their interest.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are yet to pursue their interest in Eze as Palace have made their demands clear over a fee. Earlier this week, the Gunners also abandoned plans to make a move for Guehi.

Palace’s demands for a £70m fee are believed to be the reason Mikel Arteta has moved on to other targets. The 20 per cent sell-on clause Chelsea inserted when they sold Guehi to Palace in 2021 is understood to be fueling the Eagles’ high demands.

Guehi’s stock has certainly never been higher as he comes off the back of a successful tour with England. His Three Lions center partner John Stones certainly holds him in high esteem.

“So good. For him to come in and not have those feelings around tournament football or games like that – all kinds of different emotions that come with it that you’ve never experienced before – he’s done so well,” Stones told the BBC Football Daily podcast midway through the Euros.

“I said to him or whoever I’m playing, ‘I’m your right arm and you’re my left arm – we’re doing this together. I got your back. It caught on so well. I’m a big believer in partnerships – you do it all together.

“We had two great games together. We conceded in the last one, but if we’re going to concede like that from a big striker quite far out who went right into the corner, sometimes you can’t do much.

“It’s the worrying ones where you’re in a bad position or a mistake that you know you could have handled better. He handled the occasion so well and I really enjoy playing with him.”
