Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira is “desperate” to keep talisman Wilfried Zaha at Selhurst Park beyond this summer, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The £34.2m-rated forward has entered the final 12 months of his Eagles contract and is once again being linked away from his boyhood club.
For the umpteenth transfer window on the bounce, the 29-year-old is being touted with a switch away from Palace, although this time it could have legs given Zaha is set to become a free agent next summer.
It’s been almost four years since the ex-Manchester United star signed a new deal and while the Eagles won’t want to sell their best player, they will be cautious of losing him for nothing in 2023.
Back in April, the Daily Mail reported that Palace were open to offers for Zaha this summer, while the same outlet believe that Jose Mourinho’s Roma are currently ‘monitoring developments‘.
