Crystal Palace fear losing Zaha for just £30m

 

Crystal Palace are resigned to losing star man Wilfried Zaha in a cut-price £30m deal this summer, reports The Sun.

 

Palace manager Roy Hodgson has already confirmed Zaha wants to leave after being denied a move to Arsenal 12 months ago.

 

The Eagles rejected offers from Everton and Arsenal in excess of £40m last summer and were looking to command nearly double that figure.

 

However, Palace are resigned to losing Zaha for much less than that as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, with £30m now being quoted.

 

The 27-year-old has spent the last six years at Palace after re-signing for his boyhood club in 2014 after a failed stint at Manchester United.

 

Zaha's list of potential suitors has diminished over the last year with Chelsea and Arsenal no longer on the market for new wingers.

The Ivory Coast international finished the 2019/20 Premier League campaign with just four goals and three assists, eight fewer goal involvements than he managed the season before.

 

Zaha did, however, manage more dribbles per game (4.3) this season compared to the 2018/19 campaign (3.4) and his success rate improved from 50.7% to 61.1% this term.
