Unai Emery 'wants Arsenal to break the bank for Wilfried Zaha'

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is reportedly desperate for his club to break the bank to sign Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha in this summer's transfer window.

The Gunners are only believed to have around £40m to spend on new players this summer following their failure to qualify for the 2019-20 Champions League.

However, according to The Sun, Emery will push for additional funds to launch a move for Zaha, who admitted earlier this year that he wanted to leave Palace to make the next step in his career.

The report claims that the Eagles will demand £55m for Zaha this summer. That said, previous reports have placed Palace's valuation closer to the £100m mark.

The 26-year-old, who only signed a new long-term deal at Selhurst Park in the latter stages of 2018, scored 10 times and registered 10 assists in 34 Premier League appearances last season.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have also been strongly linked with a move for Celtic defender Kieran Tierney.
