Arsenal are chasing Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
Arsenal’s reported offer for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha appears set for failure.
The Gunners’ £40 million bid is far below Palace’s valuation of the star winger, The Guardian report.
While Zaha is an Arsenal fan, Palace will operate as a business first, and won’t let Zaha leave on the cheap.
Former Palace chairman Simon Jordan was asked how he would deal with Arsenal’s offer.
He made clear he would not let Zaha leave for near Arsenal’s valuation.
Zaha is a Palace fan favourite, who has been priced out of a move away from the Eagles before.
But he signed an extended contract two seasons ago, putting Palace in control of his own destiny.
He has too much goodwill and respect for Palace and the club’s fans to go on strike and try and force a move, so it’s up to Arsenal to try and find the money.
