WILFRIED ZAHA is reportedly determined to find a move out of Crystal Palace this autumn.
With the transfer window open until October 12, the winger is said to be happy to wait to find his next move.
Having failed to seal a move to Everton or Arsenal last summer, Zaha spent the season with the Eagles but failed to produce his best form.
This time around, initial reports centred on Palace’s demand for a £70million fee for their academy product.
According to The Guardian, the forward is still keen to leave and will remain patient during the long, coronavirus-affected market.
Interest from these shores appears to have dried up, however.
With ambitions of playing in the Champions League, the Ivory Coast international could head abroad with clubs in France and Germany said to be interested.
Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco were named in a Sky Sports report about the star’s future earlier this month.
Roy Hodgson admitted that Zaha wants a move after Palace’s slow end to the campaign saw them finish 14th.
Hodgson said in July: “It’s a dilemma for the club and a dilemma for him if he is so set on leaving.
“If he feels he just does not want to be with us any more, that would be sad.
“We still like him very much; we can’t make him like us. This is a situation that only he and the club can sort out. I don’t have an answer.”
Ismaila Sarr of Watford is one option for Palace should Zaha vacate his spot on the left wing.
Already this summer, the Premier League side have secured West Brom youngster Nathan Ferguson and are closing in on a £15m switch for QPR’s Eberechi Eze.
