Chelsea ready to step up interest in ex-Arsenal target Wilfried Zaha

Chelsea are reportedly set to step up their chase to sign Arsenal summer target Wilfried Zaha, according to reports from The Guardian.

Zaha was the subject of offers from Arsenal over the summer, but the Gunners were unable to get Crystal Palace to budge over a potential move.

Talks with Everton also broke down over a move, but a deal to Chelsea could now be on the cards.

The Blues have had their transfer ban revoked for the January window, meaning they are now able to sign players.

Therefore, they could make a move for Zaha, with Frank Lampard reportedly keen on improving his attacking options.

It is very unlikely that Arsenal will be in the hunt for Zaha this January.

With Palace still asking for a hefty fee for the Eagles winger, and with Arsenal already being limited in the market thanks to missing out on the Champions League, Zaha moving to the Emirates seems off.

The Gunners may rue not signing him if he signs for Chelsea and impresses.
