Football website 90Min claim that Arsenal and Liverpool want to sign Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha on a free transfer – but are just two of five clubs looking to land the Ivory Coast ace, along with PSG, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
Zaha, 29, has taken his form to a whole new level since the arrival of Patrick Vieira. Last season, Zaha scored an eye-catching 15 goals. This season, he already has five Premier League goals in 10 games. Clubs are taking notice.
CalcioMercato reported earlier this month that Liverpool were considering a move for Zaha. Now, 90Min state that Arsenal also want to sign Zaha. A player they could have signed in 2019, but chose to spend big on Nicolas Pepe.
But 90Min say Arsenal and Liverpool are not alone. Indeed, Zaha has opportunities to move further abroad than these shores. Both Milan clubs are said to be considering a move for Zaha, as are French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal and Liverpool just two of five clubs that want to sign Zaha
What a signing Zaha will be on a free transfer. The issue for Arsenal and Liverpool, is that they tend to sign younger players. They prefer to go for a player 25 or younger. Zaha will turn 30 next month. But they might be tempted.
On a free, it represents a low-cost option. They do not have to worry about resale value, as they are bringing him in for no outlay – even if the wages are slightly more expensive. For PSG, Milan and Inter, history shows us this is not an issue.
Zaha will feel he has the quality to fight for a club that is challenging for the Premier League title. But he has a much bigger chance of winning the league in France or Italy with the clubs keen – given City’s dominance in England.
