Borussia Dortmund want Wilfried Zaha and could push for the Arsenal and Liverpool target if Youssoufa Moukoko joins Chelsea.
That’s according to Sport Bild’s Christian Falk, who has taken to Twitter to claim that Dortmund fancy signing Zaha.
Wonderkid striker Moukoko looks set to join Chelsea this summer and Dortmund are looking towards Zaha as a replacement.
Palace seem resigned to losing Zaha at this point given that his contract with the Eagles expires at the end of the season.
Zaha has given great service to Palace but the window for him to play at the very highest level is closing quickly.
90Min reported in October that Arsenal and Liverpool are both keeping very close tabs on Zaha ahead of a possible move.
Yet Dortmund can now offer major competition for Zaha and a move to Germany could be interesting to the Palace attacker.
Zaha would love Arsenal move but Dortmund may make more sense
Zaha was allegedly a boyhood Arsenal fan and his brother Judicael was quoted in 2019 as saying it’s Zaha’s ‘dream’ to play for Arsenal.
Zaha has even admitted in the past that the Emirates Stadium is his favourite away ground, so the Gunners may be the top priority for the 30-year-old.
Yet it now feels a little hard to see Zaha turning out for Arsenal.
The Gunners have developed two exciting young wingers in Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, whilst they seem to be focusing on signing Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk.
It looks like Arsenal are going for youth and potential out wide and Zaha, who is now in his 30’s, doesn’t really fit the mould.
It would be great to see Zaha play Champions League football having played so well for Palace for many years.
Dortmund may be the best route to that goal now though with Arsenal surely looking elsewhere at this stage.
