Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace is a target for Arsenal
According to Football Insider, Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace is a target for Arsenal. The Gunners are apparently working on a contract offer for the Ivorian player.
Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal’s north London rival, came close to signing Zaha twice under his management. According to the aforementioned publication, the race to sign the Ivorian striker has heated up with interest from Chelsea and Ligue 1 club Marseille.
This summer will mark the end of Zaha’s current contract. The national of Ivory Coast apparently wants to leave his current club and try out for a new one. The winger has been given a four-year, £200,000 weekly contract by Palace.
However, Football Insider reports that he will most likely seek fresh opportunities elsewhere this summer. Zaha has played in 26 games for Palace in the Premier League this year, contributing to 7 goals and 2 assists.
