Dortmund hold initial talks over deal for Zaha

German giants Borussia Dortmund have held initial talks over a deal for Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha.

According to Sky Sports, talks have taken place between representatives of the two clubs, with Dortmund hoping to sign Zaha at the end of the season.

Dortmund are not looking to secure a deal to sign Zaha this month, but are instead eyeing a move to bring him to Germany ahead of next season.

The report claims that Dortmund see Zaha as an ideal replacement for Christian Pulisic, who will officially join Chelsea in the summer after a deal was agreed earlier this month.

Zaha has only managed three goals in 20 Premier League appearances for Palace so far this season, after netting nine goals in 29 games last season for Roy Hodgson’s side.

Sky Sports do not mention the fee Palace will demand from Dortmund if the deal were to progress any further.
