Wenger going gaga for Zaha


He's the man everyone's talking about at the moment, despite the fact that his England "appearance" against Sweden the other week lasted about five minutes and three touches of the ball.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Wilfried Zaha, the "Lionel Messi" of the Championship, is emerging as a genuine January transfer target for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, who admits that the Crystal Palace flyer might well be on his transfer list alongside Gunners legend Thierry Henry, quite an accolade in itself!
One expects that the signing of Zaha could pave the way for Theo Walcott to depart the Emirates. Perhaps we should examine this deal for just a second.
So Arsenal currently have a regular England international in their squad, one who is a proven player and goalscorer in the Premier League, and could be set to either let him go for next to nothing in January or literally zilch upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.
In his place, the Gunners are set to spend masses of money on a player who is currently only proven at Championship level and has not even decided what country he truly wants to play for!
They talk much about financial sensibility at Arsenal...
