5 players who could join Chelsea before transfer deadline day

#5 Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)

Zaha may be looking for the chance to prove himself at a top club

Many believed that Zaha was one of the top players in the Premier League last season, after he played a vital role in keeping Crystal Palace up after losing all of their first eight games. His importance to Palace was shown in the fact that they won none of the ten games that he didn’t start last season. His numbers of nine goals and three assists may not seem that impressive on paper, but without him, Palace would have gone down.

He still has a point to prove though, as in his only spell with a big club, at Manchester United, he failed, and he will want to prove that he can do it at the highest level. Chelsea do have a problem with goals, as we have said, and with the service of the quality players who would be around him, Zaha would score goals for Chelsea. It is very late on in the window though, and Palace will not be willing to let him go without having a top quality replacement.
