Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha would be open to a move to Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Dean Jones.
MediaFootballMarseille reported last month that Chelsea are interested in signing former Manchester United winger Zaha from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace this summer.
And now well-known and well-respected journalist Dean Jones has told GiveMeSport that the Ivory Coast international himself would be open to a move to Chelsea.
Jones told GiveMeSport: “Chelsea tried to sign him under the previous ownership and Zaha would welcome a move like this.
“I think it would be exciting to see Sterling and him in the same attack, and I think there are ways Tuchel could get that to open up.”
Could Chelsea sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace?
In our view, if Chelsea come up with a good offer, then they would be able to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.
Zaha is 29 now and is at the top of his game at the moment.
Chelsea are a bigger and more ambitious club than Palace, and the chance to compete for the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League would be very tempting to the Ivory Coast international.
Now, of course, we know that Palace are a big and established club in the Premier League, so they will certainly not let the winger leave on the cheap.
However, money talks in football, and the Eagles could feel that at the right offer, this summer would be the perfect time to cash in on Zaha.
