According to the Daily Mail, Crystal Palace are now open to offers for Wilfried Zaha, after Arsenal and Tottenham expressed interest in 2021.
What’s the story?
Well, the 29-year-old could well be playing his final games for Crystal Palace, as a summer exit from Selhurst Park looks likely.
The Daily Mail believe the south Londoners are now comfortable to experience life without Zaha, following the impact of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze.
Crucially, the Ivory Coast international’s contract expires in June 2023, so unless the Eagles agree an extension, this summer would be their last chance to make some money on their No.11 and talisman.
It comes after 90min revealed Arsenal wanted to sign Zaha in 2021, while it was Goal who mentioned Tottenham were keen.
So far this season, the Ivorian has scored 11 goals in 28 appearances, while also providing two assists – he has scored against Spurs and the Gunners at Selhurst Park this term.
Arsenal and Tottenham must get in touch with Crystal Palace
If Patrick Vieira really is happy to consider offers for Zaha, Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte have to act.
The Crystal Palace Academy graduate has been one of the most consistent wingers in the Premier League in recent years, hitting double figures for goals in three of the last four seasons.
Zaha has impressively added end product to his mesmeric style of play, and with just one year remaining on his contract, he would be available for a cut-price fee.
For the Gunners and Spurs, that is too good an opportunity to turn down.
Zaha improves most sides in the Premier League, and if Arsenal and Tottenham decide not to resurrect their interest, they may live to regret it.
