Wilfried Zaha refuses to rule out Arsenal transfer move

Wilfried Zaha refused to rule out a move to Arsenal when asked about his future ahead of the Ivory Coasts last-16 clash with Mali at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Gunners have had a bid of £40million rejected for Zaha, with Crystal Palace understood to be holding out for a fee of around £70m for the 26-year-old forward.

Arsenal are already lining up a second proposal for Zaha despite leaving Palace furious and incensed with their opening offer.

Zaha, who scored in a 4-1 victory over Namibia on Monday, is keen to push through a move to his boyhood club this summer but, for the time being, Palace stand in the way of his dream transfer.

While Zaha appeared to give little away in the interview, many Arsenal fans were left convinced that he would be on his way this summer.
