Wilfried Zaha wants to leave Crystal Palace amid interest from Arsenal

Wilfried Zaha has undoubtedly been Crystal Palace's best player in the past couple of seasons

Wilfried Zaha has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Selhurst Park this summer. After growing in reputation as one of the finest attackers in the Premier League during his time with the Eagles, the 26-year-old Ivory Coast international wants to leave the club.

Zaha has expressed his desire amid interest from his boyhood club Arsenal. Representatives from both sides have already sat down to talk about the possibility of a deal happening in the summer. The Gunners are now expected to go ahead and make an official offer for Zaha.

However, Crystal Palace are not keen on selling Wilfried Zzaha and have slapped an £80 million price tag on their prized asset. If Zaha is sold, Manchester United stand to win 25% of the amount that Palace makes from the deal thanks to a sell-on clause that was inserted in the initial deal that saw Zaha move from Manchester United to Crystal Palace.
