Arsenal has been told to sign Wilfried Zaha this summer

Wilfried Zaha could replace Nicolas Pepe at Arsenal.

Club legend Paul Merson has urged Arsenal to sign Zaha from Crystal Palace in the summer who has been a target since 2019.

The 29-year old winger made 420 appearances for the Eagles scoring 78 goals and making 73 assists in the process.

Merson believes the club should make one last attempt to sign him this summer.

“Arsenal should go back in for Wilfried Zaha and try to sign him from Crystal Palace this summer”, Merson wrote in his column for the Daily Star.

“They wanted him before and missed out. But Zaha wanted to join them and he won’t stay at Palace forever.

“I think he would have made a difference to Arsenal. He’s better than Nicolas Pepe. He draws players towards him and makes things happen.

“It’s a good time to buy him. You’d get him a bit cheaper and he’s a better player now than he was when they tried before. I think Pepe goes this summer if they can find a buyer, and sooner or later they will try Gabriel Martinelli up front.

“So I definitely think there is room for another winger like Zaha in the team, and I think he’d get lots of minutes.”
