Wilfried Zaha told to think hard before leaving Crystal Palace amid Arsenal transfer links

Paul Merson has given a warning to Wilfried Zaha, telling the Crystal Palace winger to stick with the Eagles amid reported interest from Arsenal to avoid become a 'bit-part player'.

The Ivorian international has scored four goals in his eight Premier League games so far this season and, having been consistently linked with a move North of the river through the years, could be subject to more interest this January as Arsenal seek competition for Gabriel Martinelli in their title challenge.

Liverpool are said to have joined the race to sign the south London-born star whose contract expires next summer, but with impressive form so far this season, former Arsenal man Merson has told the 29-year-old to think twice before making a move to one of the Premier League's so-called 'top six' clubs.
