Borussia Dortmund reportedly want to sign Wilfried Zaha from Premier League Crystal Palace and are willing to send Schurrle the other way.
Should Crystal Palace lose Wilfried Zaha this summer, Roy Hodgson would face one of the most difficult challenges of his recent managerial career.
Zaha is indispensable at Selhurst Park. He is not only a hugely popular local lad come good but by far their most influential player.
Zaha inspired Palace to a remarkable escape from relegation last season and they are simply not the same side when he is not in the team.
No wonder Palace have slapped a £70 million price-tag on his head, according to the Mail.
But at least if the Ivorian international leaves for Borussia Dortmund, Palace could get a player of real quality in return.
According to Bild, the Bundesliga giants are willing to offer Andre Schurrle to Palace as part of a deal that would see Zaha move to the Signal Iduna Park.
Schurrle might not be quite on the same level as Zaha, despite boasting a World Cup and Premier League winners’ medal, but he is a player Palace have reportedly been looking at for a number of months.
The 27-year-old former Chelsea winger also enjoyed the best spell of his Dortmund career in 2018. The £26 million forward has flattered to deceive since his 2016 move from Wolfsburg, but his form at the turn of the year shows that he still has star quality in his locker.
It remains to be seen, however, whether the prospect of getting Schurrle will make Palace more open to selling Zaha.
