Wilfried Zaha

The Gunners failed with an opening £40 million offer for the Ivory Coast international on Monday but have persisted with their interest.

Sky Sports News believes that Palace value the 26-year-old at £80 million and are resistant to sell after allowing Aaron Wan-Bissaka to join Manchester United in a £50 million deal this summer.

Arsenal are said to have the means to push their bid as far as £70 million, but would walk away from a deal costing them more in total.
