Wilfried Zaha

The Ivorian has shown that he can be the match-winner on many occasions in the last season, so he should definitely be one of the players who can replace Riyad Mahrez.

Wilfried Zaha is a footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club, Crystal Palace and the Ivorian national team. It won’t be completely wrong to say that Wilfred Zaha is one of the most exciting players to watch outside of the big six clubs in the Premier League. The former Manchester United winger got nine goals in twenty-nine appearances with Crystal Palace last season in the league, which is quite a decent ratio for a winger.

While no one has ever questioned his skills, ability, his inconsistency appears to be his biggest downfall. However, off late, he has been very consistent. His biggest trait, however, is the element of unpredictability i.e on many occasions in the last season, he showed with Crystal Palace, that he can take matters into his own hands and make something happen from nothing, especially when his team is under pressure.
