      Guehi, 22, has won three England caps since his £18m move from Stamford Bridge to Selhurst Park.
      And the Eagles are believed to rate him at over £50m.
      If they are able to sell the defender for that fee, Chelsea will be set for a cool, eight-figure windfall.
      Guehi earns £50,000 a week at Palace on a five-year contract until 2026.

      And the Eagles hope to keep the Ivory Coast-born star.
      But Arsenal and Spurs are understood to be keen.
      William Saliba’s injury exposed the Gunners’ lack of strength in depth in central defence as their title bid falters.
      Emirates boss Mikel Arteta believes £20m January signing Jakub Kiwior will need a lot more time to adjust.

      by

      Arsenal were hoping to pay around £80m for 24-year-old Rice and offer him a five-year contract worth up to £300,000 a week.
      But after being gazumped by Chelsea for winger Mykhailo Mudryk in January, there are concerns at the club that history could be about to repeat itself.
      And it is not just the big-spending Blues they are worried about this time because Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are also very keen on the England international.
      West Ham have made it clear it will take more than the £106m British transfer record which Chelsea paid for midfielder Enzo Fernandez to convince them to sell their skipper.

      Boss David Moyes said at the weekend: “Declan is the best English midfielder around and that is why he is going to be extremely expensive.”
      And the Hammers are more than happy to oversee a bidding war which could push the price up to as much as £130m.
      Chelsea have major FFP concerns after spending £600m on new signings in the past year but they could offer as many as four players in exchange.
      City wanted to sign Jude Bellingham, 19, from Dortmund this summer but look set to miss out to Real Madrid.

      Rice, who still has one year remaining on his Hammers contract with the option of a further 12 months, has made it clear that he is ready to move on and wants to play in the Champions League.
      That gives Arsenal an advantage over Chelsea, who actually released the player from their academy when he was 14.
      Rice is also known to be impressed by Mikel Arteta’s philosophy of building his team around hungry young players.
      But none of that will count for anything unless Arsenal are prepared to match all the bids from their Premier League rivals.
      Mudryk was desperate to move to the Emirates in January but was powerless when Shakhtar accepted Chelsea’s £88m offer. More

      “If they’re [Arsenal] in the Champions League next season and they need a little bit more depth in that team and you’ve got someone like Granit Xhaka who is the unofficial captain in so many ways, and I think is a bit of glue with a lot of those youngsters and the new players that are coming in, I really wouldn’t want to lose him.
      “I understand if he wanted to have a move and play first-team football consistently and if you’re bringing in like a Declan Rice or a Moises Caicedo, that might edge him out a little bit. I understand and you wouldn’t want to stop him from doing that.
      “But I think he’s got so much more of his Arsenal career still to live out. I adore him, he’s been my favourite player since the whole revival of Granit Xkaka. I just love him, so I’d be gutted to see him leave.”
      Arsenal are currently in the midst of an intense title battle with Manchester City which could end with them lifting a first league title since the 2003/2004 season.
