Could Wilfried Zaha make a move to a European giant like Napoli?
Crystal Palace’s star man Wilfried Zaha came unbelievably close to moving to one of the Eagles’ Premier League rivals earlier in the window, as both Arsenal and Everton made a move for the Ivorian, offering somewhere around £80m for the attacker. But with Zaha on a long-term contract at Selhurst Park, Palace refused to budge despite the player angling for a move.

Zaha has since been re-integrated into Palace’s squad and played in their 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United this weekend, but boss Roy Hodgson has since admitted that he could still leave the club this summer, as the European transfer window remains open.
So who could make a move for the Ivorian forward? Back in January, Borussia Dortmund were rumored to be considering a move after agreeing to the sale of Christian Pulisic to Chelsea, and more recently Napoli have been reportedly considering a move after missing out on target Nicolas Pepe when he moved to Arsenal.
Whether either side could afford Zaha – assuming Palace continue to demand upwards of £80m for the star – is a major question, but it certainly seems like his time at Selhurst Park is almost up.
