Arsenal to make first offer for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha

Arsenal are ready to make an offer for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha.

Sky Sports says Zaha wants to leave Palace and Arsenal are expected to make an offer for the forward.

It is understood the 26-year-old wants to stay in London and play European football.

Zaha's boyhood club Arsenal are expected to make an offer after representatives held initial talks, sounding out the possibility of doing a deal.

However, Palace, who are set to lose Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United for £50m, do not want to sell Zaha and value him at £80m.

If a deal is completed and Zaha is sold, United have a 25 per cent sell on clause after he rejoined Palace from the Old Trafford side in 2015.
