£80m transfer would be crucial investment for Arsenal, alarming stats suggest

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.
