Arsenal refuse to drop their pursuit of Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha.

The Mirror says the Gunners are refusing to give up on signing Zaha and are preparing to launch a player-plus-cash bid.

Gunners boss Unai Emery has already seen the club's opening £40m approach rejected with Crystal Palace demanding £80m.

Arsenal will get nowhere near that figure but are now discussing putting players into the deal with Calum Chambers, Carl Jenkinson and Mohamed Elneny all possible makeweights.

Zaha has already been pushing for the move with his brother insisting publicly the winger wants to join Arsenal and they believe Palace would accept around £70m.

It has become clear that Zaha is ready to push for the move but Arsenal's opening approach has also strengthened Palace's resolve that they will not sell.
