But another Premier League side has entered the frame. According to a report from , Arsenal are also keen on Zaha.

Arsenal need to bolster their ranks ahead of the summer. Mikel Arteta’s men are surely going to be back in the Champions League next year. And they will want to ensure that they have enough depth to compete on several fronts.

Zaha is not necessarily a marquee signing for a side challenging for the Premier League title. But on a free transfer, it would be a no-brainer to bring him in.

He has been directly involved in 110 Premier League goals during his career. And he is a ‘‘ talent on his day.

He may not come cheap, even on a free transfer. There is plenty of interest from within the Premier League. And any player is likely to struggle to reject the likes of Bayern and Dortmund.

But if Arsenal come calling in a year they have won a Premier League title, they are also going to be difficult to turn down.
