Arsenal MUST sign 'unpredictable' Wilfried Zaha this summer because Crystal Palace winger is 'exactly the player they need', says Gunners legend Emmanuel Petit

Arsenal have been urged to finally go and get a deal done for Wilfried Zaha this summer, by former Gunner Emmanuel Petit.

Once again Mikel Arteta's side are being linked with a move for Ivory Coast international Zaha, who has made it clear he wants to move on from Crystal Palace this summer.

With north London rivals Tottenham said to be interested in the forward, along with Everton, Petit insists his former club should act now and buy Zaha because he is 'exactly the player Arsenal need.'
