Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha, 29, is a talented attacker that’s currently thriving for Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The left-winger has started the season well with five goals in 10 league appearances, proving yet again he’s the talisman at Selhurst Park that delivers every year.

There’s certainly not many better individuals outside the Premier League’s top-six clubs, which is why it’s no surprise he’s constantly linked with a transfer move.

David Ornstein even reported last week that many are expecting Zaha to exit Palace next summer when he’s scheduled to become a free agent.

Journalist Dean Jones has claimed that Palace’s star is an individual Chelsea still are thinking of signing.

Apparently, the Blues may look to him if they fail with other targets.

“He’s a player that’s been on the radar for teams and they’re all almost too scared to actually go for it. I know that Chelsea still have him in the background as somebody they might turn to if other targets don’t come through,” Jones told GIVEMESPORT.

Graham Potter described Zaha as “very talented” back in 2021 when he was Brighton’s manager, so it’ll be interesting to see if he wants to bring him Stamford Bridge now he’s the Chelsea head coach.

There aren’t many in England’s top division that are as exciting to watch as Zaha when he’s in the mood.

However, you do worry about some inconsistency and ability to adapt at a very top club.

He’s definitely earned the right to a big side as he enjoys the prime years of his career, but Chelsea need to think long and hard over if he’s the right fit for them.
