DBasia.news –  Arsenal reportedly decided to withdraw from the hunt for Wilfried Zaha. Instead, the Gunners aim for the transfer of Yacine Brahimi from FC Porto.

Over the past two weeks, Arsenal have been heavily reported to target Wilfried Zaha’s signature. They are called to make the Ivory Coast national team winger as part of their attack line next season.

But so far the transfer of the former MU player to North London has not yet been realized. This follows the dowry transfer of the winger who is above the transfer’s ability of the Gunners, where the winger is pegged at 80 million pounds.

Arsenal reportedly finally gave up to bring Zaha. Instead, Gazzetta Dello Sport claimed that the North London team was interested in bringing Yacine Brahimi this summer.

The 29-year-old winger appeared quite nicely with FC Porto last season. He recorded 10 goals and 2 assists from a total of 27 starters in the Portuguese League last season.

The Algerian national team player is currently in a status without a club. This is because he decided not to renew his contract which expired this summer.
