Wilfried Zaha to Arsenal? Crystal Palace star parties in nightclub with message calling him to join Mikel Arteta's side... but forward says it was a joke as his friend says it was 'banter'

Wilfried Zaha has distanced himself from a social media video in which the Crystal Palace star can be seen pointing at a 'Zaha to Arsenal' sign in a nightclub.

The Ivory Coast international was desperate to join the Gunners last summer but the club opted for Lille winger Nicholas Pepe after a deal could not be reached with the Crystal Palace winger.

But in footage uploaded to social media, it looks as though Zaha is still keen on joining his boyhood club.
