Zaha wanted by Paris Saint Germain

There have been some reports that have linked Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha to French club Paris Saint Germain. The French side is actively looking for a replacement with Neymar likely to leave the club before the end of the transfer window.

With a move for Dybala unlikely at the moment, it is believed that the French champions might make a move for Wilfried Zaha in order to strengthen the team.

Paris Saint Germain manager Thomas Tuchel knows that he will have to replace Neymar if he wants to challenge for both the French league title and the Champions League and will be keen to get any reinforcements he can before the closure of the transfer window.

At the moment both Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in Neymar and Paris Saint Germain are happy to encourage a bidding war between these two Spanish giants in order to recoup as much money as possible from the sale of Neymar.


Although Neymar is a unique player, Paris Saint Germain will feel that Wilfried Zaha will be able to bring some creativity in their attack. Thomas Tuchel admitted that it will be difficult to replace Neymar as he is a player that can play in small spaces and has the creativity to unlock the tightest of defenses.

Indeed Paris Saint Germain has often to face teams that sit back in their own half and defend deep making them difficult to break down. They will feel that having a player such as Wilfried Zaha will help them score goals and win games.

At the moment there is no concrete offer that has been made but it is expected that the fee will be around £100million in order to persuade Crystal Palace to let go of such an important player.
