Chelsea to discuss Zaha deal this week as club ponder a move

Chelsea will discuss a potential £70 million move for Tottenham target and Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha this week.

The Daily Mail claims that Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri is set to meet with Blues officials to discuss transfer targets as the end of the transfer window looms.

Chelsea have emerged as favourites to sign the Ivorian winger as Tottenham are unwilling to meet Palace’s asking price for the player.

It is yet to be seen whether or not Chelsea will meet Palace’s asking price, with the report claiming the Blues only want to offer £30 million plus players on loan.

Zaha has been heavily linked with a move away from Selhurst Park after a standout campaign for Palace last season and he has featured on the Transfer Hound hot-o-meter on numerous occasions.

The winger has rejected a contract offer from Palace already this summer and is believed to be angling for a move away.

Several clubs have expressed an interest in the player, who is believed to prefer a move to a London-based club.
