Arsenal urged to make new approach for Wilfried Zaha to replace winger flop

Arsenal have been urged to make another bid to snatch Wilfried Zaha away from Crystal Palace this summer.

Gunners great Paul Merson reckons the Eagles winger would be a gamechanger for his old club - and could be available for a knockdown fee. Arsenal had a £40m bid for the Ivory Coast star rejected in 2019 and ended up paying £72m for Nicolas Pepe instead.

But in his Daily Star column, Merson wrote: "Arsenal should go back in for Wilfried Zaha and try to sign him from Crystal Palace this summer. They wanted him before and missed out. But Zaha wanted to join them and he won't stay at Palace forever. I think he would have made a difference to Arsenal. He's better than Nicolas Pepe. He draws players towards him and makes things happen.
