Arsenal haven't dropped their pursuit of Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

The Daily Star says Gunners boss Unai Emery remains adamant that adding pace on the flanks is the most effective use of his transfer funds.

Despite reports that the Gunners have a budget of £45m, Zaha remains the Gunners' primary target amid links to other wingers.

The Ivorian international has expressed his desire to leave Selhurst Park, stating that he wants to play Champions League football.

Although Arsenal cannot offer that this season, Emery would do his utmost to convince Zaha that he is the missing part in his plan to qualify for next year's tournament.

Palace are currently demanding over £50m in negotiations with Manchester United for right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Eagles are playing hardball over the highly-rated youngster and would certainly do the same with talisman Zaha.
