Edu can seal three-year Arsenal transfer mission with £35m Wilfried Zaha deal amid agent talks

Arsenal have held an interest in signing Crystal Palace superstar Wilfried Zaha for the past three years if reports are to be believed.

The Gunners are searching for a new attacker to sign before the summer transfer window slams shut on Thursday. Former Arsenal manager Unai Emery was keen to bring Zaha to the Emirates Stadium back in 2019, but after a £40million bid was rejected by Palace, a move failed to materialise, with his Ivory Coast teammate Nicolas Pepe joining for £72million instead.

Zaha has admitted in the past that he has always been an Arsenal fan, which could give the Gunners an edge in a potential transfer fight with Chelsea also interested in signing the 29-year-old. Technical director Edu could finally complete Arsenal's three-year mission to sign Zaha this summer, with Mikel Arteta hopeful of adding one or two more players to his squad before the deadline.
