5 reasons Ivory Coast can win the African Cup of Nations

#5 The joker in the pack

Wilfried Zaha could show England just what they missed when he lines up for his ancestral side

Wilfried Zaha. The ex-England youth international has now decided to play for the national team of his ancestry, and in what a season too. He’s started on fire with 6 goals and 4 assists in a Crystal Palace side that sacked manager Alan Pardew with the team struggling in 17th.

Now, he’ll be playing his international football in the orange shirt of the Ivory Coast. Just 23 and already a Premier League starter, Zaha could take this tournament by storm. For Dussuyer, it was an exciting coup to add to his already talented squad. The question now is - will Zaha turn on the style in his grandfather’s continent? Only time will tell!
