Chelsea and Arsenal competing for Ivorian star?

Chelsea and Arsenal could compete for the free transfer of Wilfried Zaha at the end of the season, according to TalkSPORT.

The Ivory Coast star has been a key figure for the Eagles over the last decade but he is expected to move on this summer.

Zaha will be a free-agent when his contract expires in June and he is reportedly open to staying put in the Premier League.

Chelsea and Arsenal are weighing up contract proposals for him and it remains to be seen whether Zaha signs for either club.

The Blues are currently loaded with attacking options and they are already preparing to part ways with three or four players.

The Gunners also have a good crop of young stars coming through and Zaha may struggle for regular playing time next season.

While Zaha has the dream of winning trophies, he could be tempted to join a club in transition such as Newcastle United this summer.
