Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to be an admirer of Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha with the Ivorian winger linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are thought to be keen on adding a new forward to Arteta's squad in the January transfer window, though Palace will be reluctant to let their star attacker leave mid-season. The Eagles are continuing to try and negotiate a contract renewal for Zaha with his current deal set to expire at the end of the 2022/23 season.
The 29-year-old was the subject of a £40million bid from Arsenal under Unai Emery's management, but a move failed to materialise with Palace valuing Zaha at £80million, resulting in Nicolas Pepe being signed from Lille for £72million instead. Ex-Gunners midfielder Paul Merson has warned the Palace star over a potential move to the Emirates Stadium as interest continues to grow regarding a potential transfer.
