Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea are planning a bid for Arsenal target and Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha in the final days of the summer transfer window, according to The Independent.
Chelsea plan bid for Arsenal target Wilfried Zaha
The report has claimed that Chelsea have revived their interest in Palace winger Zaha and are considering a bid for the former Manchester United player.
The 29-year-old is out of contract at the Eagles at the end of the season.
Zaha has also been linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The Independent journalist Miguel Delaney has suggested on Twitter that Arsenal could make a late bid for the winger, described as “absolutely devastating” by former Gunners striker Kevin Campbell on The Highbury Squad podcast last week.
Well-known and well-respected journalist Dean Jones said on The Done Deal Show last week that Arsenal are interested in signing the winger.
Could a transfer happen?
In our opinion, Chelsea could be able to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace ahead of London rivals Arsenal in the final days of the summer transfer window.
The Blues are not averse to spending big money on players, and since they are looking for a forward, they could pay what Palace would want for Zaha.
The Ivorian is not a natural striker, but he is very mobile and scores goals.
Zaha has scored 64 goals and created 45 big chances in 281 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
