Alan Brazil says ‘don’t be stupid’ amid claims that Arsenal-linked Wilfried Zaha could move to Saudi Arabia when his contract expires at Crystal Palace in the summer.
The Crystal Palace winger could leave Selhurst Park for nothing in a few months, with a number of big teams, including Arsenal, keen to take him on board.
But, with a lot of money in Saudi and a league that also has a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, they are now seemingly targeting Zaha.
Al-Nassr’s name has hit the world heights of late because of Ronaldo and there are now claims that Zaha would be open to that move.
At 30, he still has plenty to give and he would, no doubt, be good enough to move to a Premier League team in Europe.
But when a move to Al-Nassr was spoken about, former striker and presenter Alan Brazil was having none of it, as he told talkSPORT (14/03/23).
“Away you go, why are you reading a beano (a comic),” said Brazil. “What’s he (Zaha) getting into F1? He can’t go, no, no no! Give us another story. Don’t be stupid. I wouldn’t go.”
ZAHA SHOULD STAY IN THE PREMER LEAGUE
It’s understandable if a team from Saudi throws stupid amount of money at Zaha and he just can’t turn it down.
At the end of the day, many people in that position would probably take it, regardless of your walk of life, even if you are a multi-millionaire footballer.
But, with the talent at Zaha’s feet, he can’t go to such a league because he has more than enough to still cook on the Premier League stage, even if it means staying at Crystal Palace.
