Patrick Vieira says there’s ‘no truth' in reports linking Wilfried Zaha to a summer move to Arsenal.
The Ivorian winger, who scored against the Gunners on Monday night, only has one year left on his contract at Crystal Palace and has regularly been tipped with a move to north London in the past. But Vieira has reaffirmed his desire for academy graduate Zaha to see out his career at Selhurst Park where he is idolised by the fans and many of the club’s young players coming up through the youth system.
When asked in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon to comment on Arsenal’s apparent transfer interest in Zaha and Palace’s reported willingness to listen to offers for him this summer, Vieira said: “He has been linked after the [Arsenal] game?! There is no truth about that.”
