The name which has shot to prominence since his move to Crystal Palace from Man United back in 2014 is Wilfred Zaha. The Ivory Coast international has cemented his name as one of Premier League's best wingers over the years, with his electrifying pace, an eye for a goal and immense dribbling skills a constant threat for the best of defenders.

According to the BBC, Wilfred Zaha is keen on a move to Arsenal and it seems like the London based club is looking to bring in the 26-year-old to the Emirates. However, Arsenal reportedly only have a transfer budget of £45 million, with Zaha alone rated at a mammoth £80 million by Crystal Palace. David Ornstein claims that Arsenal might have to sell a big name, probably someone like Aubameyang, in order to fund Zaha's transfer. This is because they have failed to qualify for UCL and as a result, their budget is incredibly low.

This move clearly will not make sense as Aubameyang has arguably been Arsenal's best player this season along with Alexandre Lacazette and Bernd Leno. He has scored a staggering 40+ goals this season for Arsenal. The club does not have a like-for-like replacement for Aubameyang, and though he is on the wrong side of 30, the Gabonese striker still has plenty to give and Arsenal should ward off any interest for him from other clubs.
