Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has already revealed why he would prefer to join Arsenal instead of Chelsea after being linked to both clubs ahead of ...

[Zaha](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/wilfried-zaha-crystal-palace-arsenal-25328303) has proven throughout the last five seasons that he is one of the most feared wingers in the Premier League and has helped Crystal Palace to become an established top-flight side. He has been able to rest and will be without fatigue for the second half of the season, which could help Arsenal with their title push. The Gunners have already created a strong foundation over the last couple of windows, which has meant Arteta is now in the best position to qualify for the Champions League. A deal between the winger and the Gunners could certainly be possible instead of him of moving to Chelsea as a video emerged on social media of Zaha being interviewed by Italian journalist Alessandro Schiavone in 2017. The Gunners have been searching for a midfielder and a winger since the start of the season. [the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11343163/Wilfried-Zaha-risks-bit-player-joins-Arsenal-claims-Paul-Merson.html), Wilfried Zaha could reject new contract talks and leave Crystal Palace in the upcoming transfer window.

[Saka and Martinelli](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/news/arsenal-bukayo-saka-gabriel-martinelli-25334860) have a lot of pressure to perform until the next opportunity to address this area of the pitch opens, but there is a risk of burnout for the two youngsters. Despite a good summer window, more acquisitions are still needed in January.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta took a chance when he decided to remove the club captain due to disciplinary reasons - but it is one that has certainly paid off ...

Comment [below](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-mikel-arteta-premier-league-28670102#comments-wrapper). We agree with what Mikel decided because he is our boss and we just have to agree what his vision is for us. This is what actually makes our squad really strong, because we don’t have egos in the team." [HAVE YOUR SAY!](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-mikel-arteta-premier-league-28670102#comments-wrapper) Was Arteta right to exile Aubameyang? The Egyptian was asked whether this episode was where Arteta truly established his authority, to which he replied: "100 per cent. What Morgan, like many others, neglected to mention was how Aubameyang's departure impacted the rest of the Arsenal squad in a positive way. This is the dressing room we have now.

However, it actually sparked an upturn in results, with the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard stepping up in their then-captain's absence. I’m telling you the reason, I cannot lie, it was that, this is where I stand. That's a non-negotiable and when that happens he’s out of the team. "Whatever happens in the dressing room, I cannot share.

Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko has revealed that he has been taken aback by how excellent a manager Mikel Arteta is.
