Martinelli & ESR are here for the long term hopefully. There’s no threat from Zaha in interrupting that progress, there could be from Mudryk.

The club needs a bolster solution with proven talent to support any injury crisis. We may get lucky from a prospect but we have enough of those anyway.
I’m fairly sure ESR would look like Cruyff in that Ukrainian league too.
Regardless of what we think of the Ukrainian chappie or Zaha, I'm not convinced Zaha would come to Arsenal to be a substitute and I'm not convinced Edu would pay him the wages he would want in order to be a substitute.

And we have no example of Arteta and Edu wanting proven players on high wages to provide us with depth.
