Zaha clarifies Instagram video
Wilfried Zaha has clarified an Instagram video which showed him pointing to a sign saying ‘Zaha to Arsenal’.

While Anthony Billing, the person who uploaded the initial video onto the social media site, also wrote: “I can confirm that @wilfriedzaha had no partake in the banter last night. It was just a joke I decided to go along with.”
