I Want To Join Arsenal – Zaha Tells Crystal Palace
Ivory Coast winger Wilfried Zaha has told Crystal Palace he wants to join Arsenal this summer.
According to SportsMail, Zaha has urged Palace to reach an agreement with the Gunners, who he supported as a boy.
Palace, who recently agreed on a £50 million deal with Manchester United for the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, are refusing to let go of another academy product in the same trasnfer window.
Arsenal reportedly have an opening budget of around £45m following their failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
However, that is way off the £80m price tag slammed on the 26-year-old tricky winger who is currently at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
That has left Zaha hoping that Palace chairman, Steve Parish, will lower the club’s asking price to make his dream move a reality.
