Arsenal reportedly ready to sign top Premier League star for free in summer

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Wilfried Zaha on a free transfer this summer. The 30-year-old winger has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco.

According to a report by footmercato, Zaha wants to play in the UEFA Champions League and Arsenal will surely have it next season. The Gunners are currently in a title race as they sit at the top of the Premier League table with 73 points after 30 games. However, they are closely followed by second-placed Manchester City, who have 67 points.

Winning the league might make Zaha choose Arsenal over other clubs that are interested in him. The Ivorian international has been impressive for Crystal Palace this season, scoring six goals and making two assists in the Premier League.

Zaha is a versatile player who can play on either wing or as a striker. He is known for his dribbling skills and ability to create chances for his teammates. He would be a valuable addition to Arsenal’s attacking options, which already include Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Odegaard.

Bayern Munich are one of Europe’s top clubs and have won numerous titles over the years. Borussia Dortmund are known for their attacking style of play and have produced some of Europe’s best young talents in recent years. Monaco have also been successful in France and have a reputation for developing young players so Arsenal will have very tough competition to beat.

It remains to be seen where Zaha will end up next season, but one thing is for sure – he will have plenty of options to choose from.
