Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham told to complete £13m transfer for free amid Graham Potter plan

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been encouraged to sign Wilfried Zaha on a free transfer at the end of the season. The Crystal Palace talisman has been heavily linked with an exit from Selhurst Park for some time now as he continues to impress for the Eagles.

Zaha, who sees his contract at Palace expire in 2023, has featured nine times for Patrick Vieira's side in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards six goals. His impressive displays have clawed the south London side into the top half of the table, furthering courting the interest of potential suitors.

As it stands, the Ivory Coast international will be eligible to begin pre-contract talks with foreign clubs in January should he opt against penning a new deal with Palace. But, if Zaha were to hold out until June - when his tenure officially comes to an end - then a Premier League move would be on the cards.

Graham Potter, who is currently in the market for a new striker at Stamford Bridge, has been urged to remain patient and sign Zaha, valued at £13million by CIES Football Observatory, for free in the summer. Speaking on talkSPORT, Gabby Agbonlahor said: "Now I found out his contract runs out next summer, he can go on a free transfer to a top club.

"If you're an Arsenal, Spurs, or Chelsea, you're snapping him up on a three-year contract at the age of 30. Last night he was outstanding… He showed a lot of hunger last night. Great player. Hopefully, he gets that big move."

According to French outlet Jeunes Footeux, Potter wants to sign a striker in January. The report states that former Arsenal target Jonathan David has been shortlisted and is being considered as an heir to 33-year-old Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Lille striker, who sees his deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy expire in 2025, has featured 11 times for Paulo Fonseca's side in Ligue 1 this season, directly contributing towards 11 goals. His impressive displays once courted the interest of Mikel Arteta before the Gunners opted to sign Gabriel Jesus instead.
