'Wilfried Zaha's price just went up!' - Arsenal fans react to Palace star's Ivory Coast winner

He's a player who has been the subject of intense interest from Arsenal, and Wilfired Zaha has showed why.

The Crystal Palace talisman led the line for the Ivory Coast in their African Cup of Nations round of 16 clash with Mali and made quite the impression.

Zaha popped up with the winner after 76 minutes to secure a spot in the quarter finals - a goal which certainly got fans talking.

Palace reportedly value the 26-year-old at around £80million - a price that causes a huge stumbling block for Unai Emery's side.

This is down to the status that Zaha has with the Eagles, and the fact that Roy Hodgson's side are under no pressure to sell their biggest star.

The Gunners are working with a transfer budget in the region of £45million, meaning that they will have to face some tough negotiations to find an acceptable middle ground.

However, following another top display for the Ivory Coast, Arsenal's fans are feeling somewhat pessimistic about their chances of striking a deal for forward.
