Arsenal are trying to sign Wilfried Zaha.
Arsenal are attempting to do a deal for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
The Gunners are over optimistically hoping £40 million will be enough to land the Eagles star man, The Guardian report.
It’s a case of Arsenal prioritising attacking signings when their defence needs the most work.
And in that case, not a lot has changed.
Zaha tweeted back in 2012, critically observing Arsenal’s defence.
Arsenal need to strengthen in central defence and at left-back, but won’t have much left to spend if they pull off a deal for Zaha somehow.
The Ivory Coast winger could get a first person view of Arsenal’s defence if he signs. He’s unlikely to be impressed.
