Zaha has long been linked with a move away from Palace, with Tottenham reportedly keen for the last few windows.

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha this month as they look to replace Christian Pulisic who is set to join Chelsea in the summer – and Palace fans have reacted in surprise fashion.

German newspaper SportBild claim Dortmund want to sign 26-year-old Zaha, though they remain interested in Borussia Monchengladbach winger Thorgan Hazard.

Ivory Coast international Zaha has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur in recent transfer windows, but Palace’s asking price of £70million has proved a hefty stumbling block.

The Mail claim Dortmund are willing to spend a smaller figure of £44million, and the German outfit have already made contact in a bid to sign the former Manchester United star.

Zaha has not been at his best this season, scoring only three goals in 21 games – a far cry from the nine goals ans five assists he scored last season, almost single handedly keeping Palace in the Premier League.

Palace fans reacted to the news that Dortmund wanted Zaha, and although the expected response would have been hope that they could keep Zaha, many say they would be willing to see Dortmund sign the winger – as it means he would not have to face Palace in the future.
