Report claims Arsenal is preparing an offer for Wilfried Zaha

Arsenal is preparing an offer to land Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, according to multiple reports.

Zaha has been one of the finest players in the Premier League for several seasons and has often been linked with a move to the Emirates.

Adding him to the squad seems to be an important goal for Arsenal now the attacker is running down his contract.

Palace wants him to extend his stay with a new deal, but Zaha seems keen on joining a bigger club to test himself in top competitions like the Champions League.

Football Insider says Arsenal is looking to take advantage of this to add him to their squad in the next transfer window.

They face competition from several sides around the globe, but Zaha has previously confessed to loving the Gunners.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Zaha is an accomplished Premier League player and we expect him to deliver top performances for us if he makes the move.

However, he is not getting any younger and might get less game time than he gets at Palace.

Unless he is willing to become a bench player, the attacker may reconsider a move to the Emirates.

We should spend only a little bit of time trying to convince Zaha to join us because there are younger players we can land.

  1. I think zaha is not the best for us to bid for j think arteta should not let xakah leave the team because the 5 point that we have lots from our last 3 draw games was affected by the injury player of us arsenal should have a extra key players too like the way man city are

      1. Ken Are you serioosly trying to tell us that you would like him to come to us? It would be on afree but he would hardly ever play and would be onhuge wages. Another wide player is not at all the priority we need. And NOT ZAHA in particular.

        You know I live in Croydon, Crystal Palace territory and what I know for a fact about the sainted “Wilf” would make your hair curl, assuming you have some!

        His legs are indeed OK but his character is NOT!

  2. Wouldn’t take him now he goes to ground far to easy and is he better than any of our forward players for me he is not we should only buy players that can improve the team and can’t see him doing that!

  3. He wasn’t good enough when he was good but I’d take Michael Oliseh and Marc Guehi in a heartbeat.

  4. If Zaha legs can hold for another season or two two, he is seriously worth considering in my opinion.

    1) Have seen him winning games time and time again single handedly.

    2) His experience in and around the box is immense.

    3)It will be very interesting to see his stats on winning penalties .

    4) Is there a player now in the league has a better stats of being foul and results in goal.

    5) He is extremely clever, strong and a season campaigner who can be a game changer in any team.

    My only concerns is his legs as I have come to understand, it may near to impossible finding a player without skeletons in he or her closest.

    1. Goods points indeed for signing Zaha. As a free agent he will be expecting a Willian-style bumper deal. Do you think this is a risk worth taking?

      1. It won’t be such a risk because he will be free in the summer.

        Am not seeing a William style bumper size deal, he’s an Arsenal fan that would relishes the chance to represent his boyhood club.

        Think at this stage of his career with his skills sets, personal accomplishments may well take precedence over other minor issues.

        He will jump at the chance to play for Arsenal more so in the champions league a win win situation for both club and player.

        Just read an article stating he is the most foul player in the this campaign, the closest player is ten off the pace.
        A master of the dark hearts, a season campaigner, am beginning to think of the damage and chaos he could create in and around the opposition box.

        I have never doubt Zaha natural abilities, my main concern always his age and how long those legs would hold up at the highest level.

        He had miss the chance to join us when Unai wanted to sign him, given a second bite at the cherry this time he should make no mistake.

        So yes Arsenal has nothing to lose by signing this season campaigner.

        1. If you really think Zaha and his agent will give us a discount to play for his boyhood club then dream on! For your sake, hope I am wrong.

          1. So you think he’s looking for that last big pay day as opposed to personal fulfillment or achievement my experience don’t lead me in that direction.

            Please note, William had been there and win it all, Zaha is yet to achieve that which his talent could have taken him, in my opinion he’s actually an underachiever as to his sheer talent.

            For a very long time he was actually the best player playing outside of a top four team IMO.

            Now in terms of teams he could go to fulfilling his ambition,
            The Manchester clubs are out of the question for very different reasons , I don’t see him at Liverpool, That left us and Newcastle.
            Remaining in London and our style of play would make us a no brainer.

            But we are not desperate just pushing the envelope in his favor

            1. Gunsmoke man, you must have some seriously dread and powerful stamina ! How do you do it, what are you on ? 24/7 Lawd.
              All joking aside, although we don’t know each other, I always get a good feeling about you. You are wholehearted, good natured and always enthusiastic. You never know, I might be wrong, but that’s what I sense in you. Now to more serious things, as you’re on site all the time, you will be aware that I have posted two long-ish messages about Wilf, so I imagine you won’t want to hear my tirade again. Looks like Indian Gunner London has been watching Eurovision as I’ve never noticed him post this late before !

  5. Zaha is the most fouled player in this premier league season.
    The guy is an upgrade to Nelson if he leaves.

  6. Normally I would say No Thank You to Zaha.
    But I would take him as a plan B for the striker option as he is a better header of the ball than Jesus or Nketiah.

    Only reservation is about his character as Jon Fox states. Do not know enough about this although his character from 6 – 7 years ago to now may be quite a different thing.
