According to 'The Sun', Arsenal are weighing up a 35m bid for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha as they continue to search for an Alexis Sanchez replacement.

The Chilean seems destined to leave the Emirates, whether it be in January or when his contract ends next summer.

Arsenal are, therefore, actively looking for a player who can match the talent of their talisman, and have now turned their attention to Zaha.

The winger has just returned from injury and played a vital role in Palace's recent upturn in results. He scored the winner against Chelsea and bagged a late equaliser against West Ham in the Premier League.

Arsene Wenger is reportedly willing to sell Sanchez in January for around £30m to ensure the club receive some financial benefit of letting him leave. That money could then be used to convince the Eagles to part ways with their star winger.

Do you think Zaha would fit in at Arsenal? Let us know in the comments.
