Transfer: Arsenal slammed for signing Pepe instead of Zaha
Wilfried Zaha’s former manager, Ian Holloway, has suggested Arsenal have made the wrong choice in signing Nicolas Pepe instead of the Crystal Palace winger.
Unai Emery’s side ultimately decided to switch their focus to Pepe, whom they have agreed a club-record £72m deal, leaving Zaha’s hopes of a move to the Emirates dashed.“I certainly don’t. I would be very sad if I don’t ever see Wilfried Zaha playing in the Champions League. “He is starting to add the end product to his performances. He has been handled fantastically well by [Crystal Palace manager and assistant] Roy Hodgson and Ray Lewington. The experience that those two have got, they were smart enough to move him from one of the wide areas to be centre forward.
“I believe at the very, very top level, if he plays with a team that can keep the ball away from you, who also win it back very quickly and dominate a game [he’ll do well]. If you give him the ball on the edge of the 18-yard box then he can win games, even for Manchester City.
