During the summer of 2019, the rumours linking Wilfried Zaha to Arsenal were rampant.
Indeed, Unai Emery reportedly wanted to sign the Crystal
Palace forward and the fact Zaha supported the Gunners as a boy was frequently
discussed.
Even after handing in a transfer request and ultimately
staying at Selhurst Park for another season, he was then videoed laughing along
in a nightclub to a sign showing 'Zaha to Arsenal', though ultimately no move
came off.
After a difficult time of things last season, the Ivory
Coast international has returned to form during the 2020/21 campaign.
Already having scored eight goals, reported interest from
the likes of AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain has emerged.
Speaking about the Arsenal connection in particular to Jamie
Carragher on the most recent episode of the Liverpool legend's Greatest Game
Podcast, the 28-year-old has revealed the point where he stopped supporting the
North London giants.
"I supported Arsenal when I was growing up, my whole
family supported Arsenal actually," he said.
"It's only when I moved to Man United that I stopped
supporting anyone in general."
When Carragher then asked if he was still a fan even when
playing for Palace in his first spell, Zaha revealed he did.
"I was still rooting for them", he continues
"When I went to Man United, I feel like it's a whole
different mindset over there because you're competing against these teams now
so you can't be much of a fanboy like you were before. "So yeah, that's
when my mentality changed."
