Arsenal could save £80m and complete four-year transfer mission as Wilfried Zaha considers offer

Arsenal could finally secure a transfer for Wilfried Zaha next summer and would not have to pay a penny. The Gunners have previously been linked with a move for the Crystal Palace forward and were heavily tipped to complete a deal in 2019.

The winger nearly joined Arsenal, but the move never materialised, with Zaha revealing earlier this year that the Gunners opted to sign Nicolas Pepe over him. Arsenal offered around £40million for the Ivorian, but Crystal Palace were holding out for closer to £80million.

Chelsea also considered making a move for Zaha towards the end of this summer transfer window, but no bid was made, and Zaha stayed at Selhurst Park. His contract comes to an end next summer, and Palace have reportedly offered him a new deal to extend his stay at the club, but if he chooses to turn that down, the Gunners may get their chance to pounce.
