You'd be hard pushed to find a transfer window over the last three years where Wilfried Zaha hasn't been linked with a move to Arsenal. With the forward into the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace, the rumour mill is turning once again.
For all the links with Zaha over the past few years, he did actually nearly join Arsenal in 2019. In April, the 29-year-old told Jamie Carragher's The Greatest Game Podcast: "I had a conversation with the manager actually. [Unai] Emery was just like, ‘We don’t really need to go through much’.
He was like, ‘Yeah we’d love to have you’ and I was just like, ‘Yeah I’d love to come’. Obviously, it was up to the club who they chose and they chose [Nicolas] Pepe over me.”
