Wilfried Zaha's Brother Plead Crystal Palace To Sanction Arsenal Transfer

Wilfried Zaha’s camp has started to really turn up the pressure on Crystal Palace as anticipation builds on an Arsenal transfer.

The 26-year-old has not submitted an official transfer request but he is doing everything he can to earn a move to the Gunners.

His brother, Judicael Zaha told Sky Sports that it is the winger’s dream to play for the “club he has supported since childhood”.

“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. It is my brother’s dream, though, to play for Arsenal,” he was quoted.

“Given all that Wilfried has given to Crystal Palace to help them remain a Premier League club, I hope Palace will be able to see their way to agreeing a deal with Arsenal that allows Wilfried to realise his dream of playing European football for the club he has supported since childhood.”

“Wilfried has had two very good spells with Crystal Palace and they have achieved a lot together. After playing a big role in Palace getting promoted, he went to Manchester United, came back and helped them consolidate in the Premier League.

“Crystal Palace have told me that if an opportunity presented itself again for him to join a club who play European football regularly they would not stop Wilfried from getting back up to that level because they know there is a limit to whether he can fulfil all of his ambitions with Palace. 

“They said if an opportunity like this presented itself they would not stand in his way. We are hoping they still feel that way and they can come to an agreement with Arsenal quickly, for the benefit of Wilfried’s future.”
