Tottenham may have ‘clever’ Zaha plan but star urged to join Arsenal

“It comes down to his personal choice between Arsenal and Tottenham,” Whelan told Football Insider. “There’s been growth from both sides in the last couple of years. You could probably see him more as an Arsenal-type player because of that attacking brand of football.

“Conte’s style is more defensive, more counter-attacking. There’s a bit more of a flow to Arsenal’s game, which would probably suit Zaha more than Tottenham. Where would I see him benefit and have more success? Probably at Arsenal under Arteta.”

Arsenal have been linked with another forward option in January as Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykhailo Mudryk could be set for a move to the Emirates following Gabriel Jesus’ injury, which would add more significant competition for places at Arsenal for Zaha.
