# Pep Guardiola admits he likes Palace star Wilfried Zaha

The City boss will look to make at least two additions to his squad this summer, with a defensive midfielder and a forward at the top of his list.

Lazio midfielder Jorginho is the top of his list of possible replacements for the outgoing Yaya Toure, while Guardiola is considering a few options for his attack. Riyad Mahrez remains a target after City failed to push through a £60m deal for the Leicester winger in January.

Pep may look to sign Palace forward Zaha after he kept his side up this season. City may face opposition from Spurs for the 25-year-old who was Sir Alex Ferguson’s last signing at Old Trafford before his departure.

Pep said:

> I like Crystal Palace, Zaha and other players.

Zaha however insists he is content at Selhurst Park, he said:

> I have no plans on leaving. I’m enjoying my football, you can see how much I’m enjoying it. This is my home and there’s no reason for me to leave.
