(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, Pepe has struggled to make an impact at the club and Zaha believes his vast experience in the Premier League should have convinced Arsenal. ‘I had a conversation with the manager, actually,’ Wilfried Zaha said on The Greatest Game with Jamie Carragher podcast. ‘He was just like, ‘we don’t need to go through much’. He’s seen me play, he knows I can change games at any time and stuff like that. It was like, ‘yeah, we’d love to have yo...
