Arsenal Still Focused on Signing Wilfried Zaha Despite Links With Malcom and Lucas Vasquez

Wilfried Zaha remains Arsenal's principal transfer target this summer, despite reports linking the Gunners with moves for Real Madrid's Lucas Vazquez and Barcelona's Malcom.

Unai Emery is set on bringing in a winger before the transfer window closes and is determined to continue his pursuit of Crystal Palace's star man, despite the 26-year-old's £80m price tag.

Goal have claimed recent reports stating Arsenal were close to sealing moves for both Vasquez and Malcom are inaccurate, and bringing Zaha to north London remains the club's number one priority.

It was alleged on Friday morning that negotiations between Real Madrid and the Gunners regarding the transfer of Vazquez were in advanced stages, and an agreement between the clubs was expected as early as next week.
