Wilfried Zaha desperate for Premier League return with Leicester and Crystal Palace in talks
Wilfried Zaha is desperate to return to the Premier League, talkSPORT understands.
Leicester are actively exploring a deal to take Zaha on loan from Galatasary.
The Ivorian’s former club Crystal Palace have also held talks with Zaha’s representatives.
The 31-year-old left Selhurst Park last summer on a free transfer and headed to Turkey.
He scored 10 goals in 42 games in all competitions for the Super Lig club, but wants to come back.
Zaha played 458 times for Palace, across two spells at the club, and is undoubtedly their greatest ever Premier League player.
Champions League football was a must for the Ivorian last summer and he featured against Manchester United, his former club.
For Palace, they have lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich this summer and Eberechi Eze continues to be linked away.
Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan would not be against a return.
“The move to Man United didn’t help him, he was [Sir Alex] Ferguson’s last signing, then had the changeover to David Moyes, perhaps the cultural fit of not being prepared for the scale and opportunity at Man United was at the wrong time for him amongst other things.
“He certainly was a success at Palace and I think for him now coming back to Palace, maybe it’s home from home.”

The fact that Leicester are exploring the option of several loan deals, do see a change in approach as the next phase in the chase for new players are on.
Leicester have in the past three weeks seen a number of transfers falling through were players have chosen to move on to other places.
Reliable transfer source Fabrizio Romano has stated that Wilfried Zaha no longer is an option for Crystal Palace. This opens a major possibility for Leicester to settle a move for Wilfred Zaha.
We believe that the move for Facunda Bounanotte will be what comes first, said to have had a medical and ready to join on a loan.
The move for David Datro Fofana could be in doubt as he was also seen as a potential loan, having a limit on two loan players in the squad at the same time, according to Premier League rules. No more news on Fofana at this point, as we do believe talks could stall having with the current interest turning to Bounanotte and Zaha.
Looking at the squad at this point, Steve Cooper is said to have four potential moves lined up to get everything complete. to follow up on all rumours, never miss out on our hot, cool and cold update.
