Arsenal legend says this African star is good enough for the Gunners

Ian Wright believes that Wilfried Zaha is good enough to play for Arsenal. Zaha has been in good form this season and has scored four goals from 12 Premier League appearances for the Gunners.

The 25-year old is playing well and his form would have surely attracted the interest of rival clubs ahead of the January transfer window.

However despite Palace’s form improving during recent times, they are still in danger of being relegated this season and for this reason, it is unlikely that they will be willing to listen to offers for Zaha in January.

He has however been linked with Tottenham and Arsenal and Wright believes that the player is ready to make the step up.

“I believe Zaha is someone who loves it there,” Wright told Sky Sports’ The Debate. “If he moved on, would they understand him with the way he plays? Would he fit in with someone else’s style in the way Palace has him play exactly the way he wants?

“Wilf has a decision to make. If he carries on playing like that, then teams will want him. I know Spurs linked and I think Arsenal been linked and they should be. Ability-wise, he’s easily good enough for Arsenal. To play in a certain system is different as he’s a bit of a maverick.”
