'You have to be very careful with who you bring in': Emmanuel Petit warns former club Arsenal against signing Wilfried Zaha as it will halt the progress of Gabriel Martinelli

Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit does not believe his old club should make a move for Wilfried Zaha as they already have a player of real quality who plays in his position.

Gabriel Martinelli has shone on the left wing for the Gunners this season, gaining a reputation as one of the top young talents in the league.

Zaha impressed as Crystal Palace beat Arsenal 3-0 at Selhurst Park on Monday and it was long before talks of a potential move to the Emirates resurfaced.

However, Petit thinks signing Zaha will halt Martinelli's progress.
