Chelsea in talks over Arsenal target Wilfried Zaha
90min have reported that Chelsea have held talks with Premier League rivals Crystal Palace over bringing former Manchester United player Zaha to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are reportedly eyeing a move for the Ivory Coast international winger as an alternative to Everton winger Anthony Gordon.
90min have added that Palace are wiling to sell the 29-year-old, who is out of contract at the London club at the end of the season.
Gunners need to step up
Chelsea making a move for Zaha now will come as a blow for Arsenal, who have also been linked with the winger, described as “unstoppable” by former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United forward Alan Brazil on talkSPORT (9:09am, August 5, 2022).
The Independent journalist Miguel Delaney has suggested on Twitter that Arsenal could make a late bid for the winger.
Well-known and well-respected journalist Dean Jones said on The Done Deal Show last week that Arsenal have an eye on the former Manchester United player.
If Arsenal are keen on signing Zaha, then they simply have to open talks with Palace now and make a move of their own.
Zaha has scored 64 goals and created 45 big chances in 281 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
