Whisper it, but Arsenal may yet take a serious look at Wilfried Zaha.
Fabrizio Romano revealed today [Caught Offside] that Ferran Torres and Raphinha are both keen to stay at Barcelona, despite speculation about the Gunners wanting them.
And of course, Mykhailo Mudryk is now at Chelsea, who stole a march on Arsenal and signed the Ukraine international.
The options out wide are dwindling for the North Londoners.
And don’t be surprised if Zaha to the Emirates Stadium is a topic of conversation over the next two weeks.
Zaha is out of contract with Crystal Palace at the end of the season and according to Team Talk, has a long-time ambition to play in the Champions League again.
And with Arsenal top of the Premier League, and almost certain to finish in the top four, the Gunners – Zaha’s boyhood club – might be a genuine threat to the Eagles’ chances of keeping him.
Although a big club, Palace are no match for Arsenal right now and if Mikel Arteta and Edu come in for him, there isn’t much that Patrick Vieira can do.
For someone who turned 30 in November, Zaha – labelled ‘unbelievable‘ by Ian Wright – is obviously older than what the Arsenal duo usually punt for in the transfer market.
However, he knows the Premier League like the back of his hand and could do a serious job for Arteta over the coming years.
He has already been linked in recent months and in light of the North Londoners’ recent disappointments, further speculation could be coming down the line.
