Transfer: Unai Emery tells Arsenal board to "break the bank" for Zaha

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, is set to go all out to sign Wilfried Zaha and will ask the board to break the bank for his signature, the UK Sun reports.

Emery is desperate to bring in a winger this summer and the Crystal Palace star is his top target.

Arsenal's transfer budget was limited to just £45million, following their failure to qualify for the Champions League. But the Spaniard will look to force the board to release the funds needed to sign the £55m-rated Palace winger.

Palace will play hardball with any potential suitors for the 26-year-old Ivory Coast international, who is a boyhood Arsenal supporter.

Zaha has seen his transfer valuation rocket, after becoming one of the most feared forwards in the Premier League.

He scored 10 goals and created as many assists last season.
