Wilfried Zaha, a winger for Crystal Palace who will be a free agent at the end of the current campaign, is reportedly the subject of an offer from Arsenal.
What are the most recent Arsenal transfer rumours?
The Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Raphinha from Barcelona in the upcoming transfer window. Sporting director Edu Gaspar is reportedly making frequent calls to try to pursue a deal for the Brazilian winger.
After missing out on the Frenchman in the January transfer window, Moussa Diaby of Bayer Leverkusen is another wide option. He may become available for around £65m this summer, at which point a transfer would be a more likely possibility.
Journalist Dean Jones suggested Mikel Arteta might pursue Pedro Neto again, and Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke claims they are planning a surprise transfer for the star player for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
With Football Insider now reporting that Arsenal is preparing an offer for Zaha, who is eager to challenge himself elsewhere this season despite holding contract talks with Palace, there will also be a free transfer option available to them.
The 30-year-old is being chased by a number of Premier League clubs, including Marseille and Chelsea, in addition to the Gunners. Chelsea is reportedly interested in the player as well.
The north London club has long been interested in the Ivory Coast international but has previously had high-value offers rejected. Now that he is available for free, they are ready to pique their interest once more.
Wilfried Zaha should be signed by Arsenal.
Given their return to the Champions League for the following campaign, Arsenal will, on the whole, be pleased with this campaign. However, they will be a little disappointed with some of their recent results, which have given Manchester City the upper hand in the title race.
One could argue that one of Arteta’s problems in recent weeks has been a lack of squad depth. Rob Holding was criticised after replacing William Saliba, and Bukayo Saka doesn’t have any reliable backup options.

Given that he has established himself at Premier League level over a number of years and has scored double digit goals in each of the previous three seasons, Zaha could be an excellent replacement for Reiss Nelson, who has been linked with a possible transfer away.
The Palace star who earns £130,000 a week and has been dubbed “phenomenal” by Arteta has earned the opportunity to prove himself at a club like Arsenal. Given that he is available on a free transfer, it is a very low-risk move for the Gunners, and he could be an open goal signing.
