Wilfred Zaha “is exactly the kind of player Arsenal need” according to Emmanuel Petit, who has urged the Gunners to snap up the want-away Crystal Palace winger this summer.

Zaha is attracting attention from a number of clubs after another impressive individual campaign at Selhurst Park including Everton and Tottenham, with Goal reporting that the 28-year-old could be available for around £40 million ($57m) when the transfer window reopens.

Petit wants to see Arsenal swoop in and steal Zaha’s signature from under the nose of their Premier League rivals, and thinks the Ivorian has the ability to add a new dimension to Mikel Arteta’s side.
