Wilfried Zaha’s contract at Crystal Palace is set to expire this summer, and the Eagles are in danger of losing the attacker.

The Eagles are committed to keeping the club’s talisman with a lucrative new contract, but Zaha must make a choice if he wants to fulfil his dreams of playing in Europe.

The 30-year-old is expected to leave Selhurst Park in the summer after turning down many offers to stay longer.

In the event that the forward becomes available for a free transfer, there will undoubtedly be a lot of interest in him.

According to reports, he might team up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

We look at potential destinations for the player.

Tottenham

Tottenham has reportedly expressed interest in Zaha in previous transfer windows and could do it again.

While Antonio Conte added a number of new players to his squad during the summer transfer window, he has made clear his desire for additional investment as he seeks to make Spurs a serious contender for major championships.

The north Londoners, who have alternated between a front two and a front three this season, would be drawn to Zaha’s versatility in the attacking line. Richarlison joined Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min, and Harry Kane in north London last summer, increasing competition for a spot at Spurs.

Zaha, who has frequently been a target for Palace, would offer a fresh option to that foursome and might flourish in the extra flexibility offered as part of a front line with several threats.

Newcastle

As the Magpies’ grandiose ambition starts to take form, Newcastle has been mentioned as a potential destination for Zaha.

After taking over a squad that finished in the relegation spots the previous season, Eddie Howe has done a great job, and Newcastle is currently one of the top teams in the Premier League.

In comparison to a “Big Six” team, Zaha might receive a better assurance of playing time at St. James’ Park, and Newcastle has the resources to compete at the top of the division in the upcoming seasons.

The thought of Allan Saint-Maximin and Zaha working together on opposing flanks is enough to give full-backs in the Premier League insomnia.

Arsenal

In 2019, Arsenal attempted to sign Zaha, but their efforts were unsuccessful since Palace requested a hefty fee in exchange for their star player.

Since then, the Gunners have changed their attention to developing talent under Mikel Arteta, and they have been rewarded with their best-ever Premier League season start.

Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, two of Arsenal’s talented young players, have excelled thus far this season. But it’s well known that Arteta wants another option in the final third, and Zaha might provide some wisdom to the club’s talented attacking line.

If Arsenal wants to return to the Champions League this year, it will need to invest more and enhance its depth. The Gunners will return to Europe’s top competition for the first time since 2016–17 if their current performance continues.

Chelsea

Graham Potter, who is looking for firepower for his team, has made Chelsea the favourites to sign Zaha. This season, Chelsea has had difficulty scoring goals due to a number of prominent players’ subpar Stamford Bridge performances.

In the Premier League, players like Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech have fallen short of expectations, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will turn 34 next summer. The underlying statistics highlight Chelsea’s goal drought, with the west Londoners currently ranked 12th in the Premier League for anticipated goals (xG).

Zaha might provide Chelsea with a tried-and-true Premier League option, and the cross-capital trade would let the forward stay in London. Potter, whose managing triumph has been due to his level of tactical flexibility, will be drawn to his versatility.
