Ian Wright sends message to Arsenal over Zaha, Aubameyang and Lacazette transfers

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has urged his former club to keep hold of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette as well as do all to sign Wilfried Zaha. The Crystal Palace star is keen on joining Arsenal as it is the club he supported as a child. Zaha has emerged as one of the best players from outside of the top-six since returning to Palace from Manchester United in 2015. And Arsenal hero Wright told the South China Morning Post: ‘We’re trying to get Wilfried Zaha, which would be magnificent. "You want competition for places. Defensively, I think everyone can agree, we need some strength in there. You can always strengthen in the midfield. Aaron Ramsey’s gone. We need that midfielder who is going to join the front guys and try to contribute with goals. ‘Goals is a premium so you always want to be linked with a striker that might be able to come and help." However, Arsenal best duo Aubameyang and Lacazette have been linked with a move away from the club. Aubameyang has netted 41 goals in 65 appearances for the Gunners since signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2017, while Lacazette has scored 27 Premier League goals across the last two campaigns. "Hopefully that doesn’t happen because that would be disastrous," Wright said of their potential exits.
