Arsenal intensifies chase for former Manchester United ace

Arsenal are said to be preparing a deal for Cyrstal Palace star Wilfried Zaha and are ready to offer player-exchange plus cash for his services.

According to reports, the Gunners are willing to offer Calum Chambers and Reiss Nelson as part of the deal, as they plan on improving their wings, which have lacked pace in recent seasons.

The Ivory Coast international has been one of the star performers of the campaign, and ‘passed his audition’ when he led his Palace side to a 3-2 shocking win at Emirates a few weeks ago.

He has made it clear that he wants to play Champions League football, and will look to move to a top side.

Arsenal will, however, have to beat Chelsea in the Europa League finals to confirm their place in next season’s European competition, after failing to qualify through the Premier League.

Zaha has attracted attention from the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, while Chelsea, who are said to have been keen on signing him have been hit with a transfer ban.

Zaha spent 18 unhappy months at Old Trafford, before moving to Palace where he has developed into one of the best wingers in England.

He scored 10 goals for Palace in 36 appearances in the recently-concluded campaign.
