Arsenal increase interest in signing Ivorian star?

Arsenal have reportedly increased their interest in signing Wilfried Zaha on a free transfer from Crystal Palace.

The Ivorian's current deal with the Eagles expires in the summer and he has no plans of penning an extension.

He has his sights on playing Champions League football and Foot Mercato claim that he could stay put in London.

Zaha has been on the radar of the Gunners for the last few years and they remain interested in landing his signature.

The north London giants want to add more quality and depth to the squad and Zaha is considered as an ideal fit.

The 30-year-old winger has vast experience of playing in the Premier League and he can be a match-winner on his day.

Arsenal should be favourites to land his services as they are almost assured of Champions League football next season.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked but the duo seem unlikely to qualify for the Champions League.
