Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has said on Twitter that he likes playing at Arsenal’s home ground, the Emirates Stadium.

Zaha, who has often been linked with Arsenal in recent years, has said that the Emirates Stadium and Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium are his favourite away grounds in the Premier League.

CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs said on the EGTV YouTube channel in August that Zaha was on the radar of Arsenal in the summer transfer window. 

In May 2020, former Arsenal head coach Unai Emery told The Guardian that he wanted to sign Zaha in the summer of 2019, but the Gunners decided to bring in Nicolas Pepe from Lille instead.

Could a future move happen?

In our view, Arsenal could be able to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha next summer.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at the Eagles at the end of the season, so Arsenal would be able to secure his services on a free transfer.

Zaha himself could be tempted to move to a massive club such as Arsenal and get the chance to challenge for major honours and play in the UEFA Champions League.
