Bacary Sagna has said that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal should not sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha in the summer transfer window.
The former Arsenal star has said that the Palace winger is too old now for the Gunners.
Sagna does not think that Arsenal should bring in the 30-year-old Ivory Coast international forward.
Zaha is out of contract at Palace at the end of the season.
The Eagles have offered the former Manchester United winger a new four-year contract worth £10 million per season, according to The Guardian.
The Guardian have reported that Arsenal and Chelsea are among the clubs who “have expressed interest in signing Zaha on a free”.
Bacary Sagna on Wilfried Zaha to Arsenal rumour
Sagna told SportingPost: “I don’t. He’s 30 years old and whilst I love the player a lot and have always been a fan, Arsenal need to be focusing on signing players around 23 or 24 years old.
“There was a time when they were signing players even younger at 20, which is too young, but 23/24 is the perfect age they should be recruiting quality players at.”
HITC Verdict: Zaha would be a good signing for Arsenal
In our view, Wilfried Zaha would be a good signing for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Yes, Zaha is 30 now, but he is at the top of his game at the moment and knows the Premier League inside out.
The Ivorian star is very good with the ball and can score goals.
Yes, Arsenal will have to match or better his £130,000-a-week (SalarySport) salary that he gets at Crystal Palace now, but let us not forget that the Gunners will be able to bring him to the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season on a free transfer.
