Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on Gunners summer transfer target Wilfried Zaha ahead of facing him this weekend.
Crystal Palace star Zaha was strongly linked with a move the Emirates Stadium in what proved to be Unai Emery's final summer in charge of the club, with his brother even releasing a statement in an attempt to force through a move .
Having replaced the sacked Emery last month, it is Arteta's job to try and stop Zaha when he takes his Arsenal side to Palace this weekend, and his admiration for the attacker is obvious.
"He’s one of the things to be aware of," Arteta told reporters on Thursday.
"We know Wilf, the type of talent he is, and when he gets isolated in one-vs-one situations what he can do.
"Of course he will be part of the game-plan.
"I think he’s a terrific player.
"I think the impact he’s had in the last few years in the Premier League has been phenomenal.
"His ability to create chances on his own is unique."
Palace's clash with Arsenal kicks off at 12.30pm on Saturday.

every person on earth with average iq can clearly see that arsenal needs deffenders and right and links backs, not attackers. so zaha can stay where he is we need Ben white, kalvin phillips, first then Hakimi and Ziyech.

Now's the time. If Zaha doesn't make the step up the ladder to a more prestigious team, he'll be quickly forgotten and remembered as a "lost" potential. Now moving to his thirties.

I really interested to see Ziyech as our 1st target and Upamecano next ..

We want him in the summer together with Ziyech upfront. Soumare and Ceballos in midfield. Upamecano and Koulibaly in defence plus the incoming Saliba. a Right Back cover for Bellerin.
Agreed with you .. We can use Zaha as our Upfront striker if Auba/Laca leave us .. Ziyech and Pepe on our flank ..

Arteta should be looking for midfielders and defenders to sign, that's what Arsenal need tight now.
