Arsenal

  in Spain say the Real Madrid winger, 28, is ready to leave Los Blancos for guaranteed playtime elsewhere, and Unai Emery is a big fan of him. The offer has been made by the Gunners, and a decision is expected by Tuesday as that is when Real Madrid fly to the United States for pre-season.

Arsenal have been strongly linked with a transfer swoop for Wilfried Zaha – and stats suggest he’d be a crucial investment in a key area for Unai Emery’s team. The latest on the  Zaha to Arsenal transfer  saga is that the Gunners are prepared to try an improved second bid for the Ivory Coast international after failing with an opening offer of £40million, according to the  Evening Standard . The report states, however, that Crystal Palace want as much as £80m for their star player, which seems out of Arsenal’s financial reach. Still, it might not be impossible if the north Londoners can sell some under-performing players like Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi, or perhaps bring Zaha’s fee down by including players in a swap deal.

Wilfried Zaha's brother says it is the Crystal Palace winger's dream to play for Arsenal, following rumours of a £40million bid . Palace are sure to reject out of hand the offer for Zaha, with the Eagles valuing the 26-year-old at more like the £80m mark, and their resolve to keep their star man has been heightened further after selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United. Zaha has four years left on the contract he signed last summer when linked with moves to clubs including Tottenham, but it is their north London rivals Arsenal who Zaha wants to join this time around. Zaha's brother Judicael has now spoken out and hopes that Palace will allow him to join the Gunners, but unless the offer goes up, that is highly unlikely. "Wilfried will always hold Crystal Palace and their fans in the highest regard and all the support they have given means the world to him," he said.
