Journalist Dean Jones has claimed that Wilfried Zaha is certainly on Chelsea’s list for potential transfer targets this summer.

He told GiveMeSport that he has been linked despite the Blues being stacked in the wide areas of attack, some of who they are trying to sell.

It is likely Zaha is going to be available for free this summer as his contract with Crystal Palace looks set to finally come to an end.

This will no doubt be putting a number of elite sides on notice for a potential steal this summer.

Chelsea have been linked with the transfer of the Ivory Coast international, as he has consistently impressed in the Premier League.

He has previously been described as ‘unplayable’ by pundit Tony Cascarino, and he would certainly be an interesting addition at Stamford Bridge.

Zaha linked to Chelsea

Jones has claimed that despite the strength in depth the club currently have, Zaha is certainly a name being considered by Todd Boehly at Chelsea.

He said: “Zaha is somebody that has been linked with Chelsea for a few years now. At the moment, I probably only give it a low to medium rating in terms of it actually happening.

“And that’s because Chelsea have so many players of his type already in this squad and they’re trying to offload three or four of them at the moment. But yeah, it’s true they have him on the list.”

With the futures of Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke currently looking bright after their January additions, it would be recommended the Blues target other areas this summer.

It has already been claimed that prospective new manager Mauricio Pochettino is instead looking to target a goalkeeper, centre midfielder and striker in an attempt to help the club return to the top end of the table.
