Crystal Palace will demand £80 million for Wilfried Zaha this summer with Arsenal, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund all in the race to sign the winger, according to reports.
The 26-year-old has given the clearest indication yet that he wants to leave Palace by admitting that he is keen to play for a Champions League club.
‘I’m too ambitious. And not ambitious just to play for a top club, but to win things at club level and with the Ivory Coast,’ he told the Daily Mail earlier this week.
‘For me to be better, to achieve what I know I am capable of, I have to aim to play at the very highest level, to win trophies.
‘I’m blessed to have come this far in my playing career. But I feel like there is so much more I have to offer.
‘I have to experience the Champions League.
‘I just need the opportunity, that’s it. And I’ll do the rest.’
And according to the Daily Mail, Palace are willing to sell Zaha this summer but will not entertain offers below £80m.
Arsenal are interested in signing Zaha have have scouted him on multiple occasions this season but Palace’s asking price is a huge obstacle, especially if Unai Emery fails to guide the club back into the Champions League.
Tottenham also retain an interest in Zaha having had bids for the Ivory Coast international rejected by Palace in previous summers.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, have are understood to have already made contact with Zaha’s representatives as they view the 26-year-old as a potential replacement for Christian Pulisic, who is joining Chelsea at the end of the season.
