The Crystal Palace winger is reportedly a January target for Chinese side Dalian Yifang.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Chinese outfit Dalian Yifang are readying a January offer for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, and are prepared to offer him an astonishing £390,000 per week after tax – a deal that would see him become one of the best paid players in the world.

Zaha, 26, is so important to the Eagles, however, and considering the fact that his contract runs until 2023, the south London outfit will surely dig their heels in and try and keep the Ivory Coast international.

The pacey winger has racked up 46 goals and 58 assists during two separate spells with Crystal Palace, and losing him next month would be nothing short of an absolute disaster for Roy Hodgson.

Since the start of the 2016/17 campaign, the Eagles have won just one game when Zaha has not been playing, and that certainly doesn’t bode well for the future, should they sell their star man.

The Daily Mail claims that former Real Madrid manager Bernd Schuster wants to bring Zaha to China, but Palace will attempt to resist any overtures made for the winger.
