Arsenal identify Wilfried Zaha as £35million replacement for contract rebel Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal are considering a £35million move for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha as they attempt to line up a replacement for Alexis Sanchez.

The Gunners seem consigned to losing their Chilean forward, either when his contract expires next summer or in a deal in January.

However, according to The Sun, Arsene Wenger has started to plan for life without Sanchez and has singled out Zaha as the ideal replacement.
