As per latest reports in the Mirror, Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is keen on leaving Selhurst Park and has already informed about his decision to his team-mates. The winger has been one of the hottest properties in English football after his exploits last season and the 25-year-old wants a move to Chelsea.
Everton were one of the clubs who were interested in him but they later went on to sign Richarlison from Watford. Zaha has now turned down an offer to sign a new contract and there is a chance that he might launch an official transfer request. Roy Hodgson has been fighting tooth and nail to keep hold of his star man and it remains to be seen whether the Ivory Coast international will stay at Selhurst Park. It’s reported that he was offered a £125,000-a-week contract.
The Eagles are only set to listen to huge offers and the Blues can certainly do that if they sell the likes of Eden Hazard or Alvaro Morata in the ongoing transfer window.
Zaha has always been known for his pace and skills but last season, he added end product to his game which made him more lethal. Hodgson even went on to deploy him in a false 9 role which provided rich dividends for the side as they finished a respectable 11th even after being pointless in the first seven games.

Chelsea will definitely benefit if they manage to land Zaha, however, the figure will definitely be in upward of £50m if Maurizio Sarri decides to go after him. He has a directness to his game so he will always be a goal threat for any side he plays for in the upcoming season.
