Borussia Dortmund are reportedly eyeing up a move for Chelsea target Wilfried Zaha at Crystal Palace. Chelsea’s interest in Dortmund youngster Youssoufa Moukoko could have a role to play in any kind of transfer, though.
The latest rumours show the Blues may be involved in an interesting transfer saga.
According to journalist Christian Falk on Twitter, Dortmund may be interested in signing Palace attacker Zaha. This comes after 90min claimed earlier this month that Chelsea are keen on a potential swoop for the 30-year-old Palace star.
Falk reports that Dortmund’s interest in Zaha may be influenced by the future of their own player Moukoko, who’s attracting interest from Chelsea. SPORT claims the Todd Boehly’s Blues are willing to pay a fee to sign the 18-year-old striker from Dortmund in January.
To summarise, if Moukoko signs for Chelsea this summer, Dortmund are interested in Zaha.
Dortmund eyeing Wilfried Zaha
Described as “unplayable” by Tony Cascarino a couple of years ago, Zaha has proven in the Premier League what a dangerous attacker he can be.
The Ivory Coast international is linked with a potential move to Stamford Bridge, but do Chelsea really need him?
In our view, the Palace dazzler is good enough to play for one of the top teams. There may be better attacking targets out there for Graham Potter’s side, though.
If Chelsea had a straight choice between Zaha and Moukoko, the Blues should go with Moukoko.
Dortmund teenager Moukoko, who’s 12 years younger than Zaha, is clearly still an emerging talent learning his craft in the first-team game. However, he’s got six goals and six assists in 22 matches across all competitions this season.
