Palace explore Zaha options and reject Andersen approach
- Published
Crystal Palace are open to the possibility of bringing former talisman Wilfried Zaha back to the club on loan.
The 31-year-old left the club at the end of the 2022-23 season and joined Galatasaray to fulfil his dream of playing in the Champions League.
Zaha scored 10 goals in 42 appearances for Galatasaray last season, including a goal in the Champions League in a 3-2 win over Manchester United in the group stage.
The Ivory Coast international made 458 appearances for the Eagles over two stints at the club scoring 90 goals with 68 coming in the Premier League.
Palace lost key player Michael Olise to Bayern Munich in July and Zaha would add another option to their attack.
They have completed the signings of forwards Daichi Kamada and Ismaila Sarr, alongside defender Chadi Riad.
Elsewhere, the Eagles have rejected the £20m offer from Fulham for centre-back Joachim Andersen.
It is understood that the bid was rejected at the time of the offer and no subsequent bid had been made.
The Eagles value the 28-year-old defender at closer to £40m.
Andersen spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Craven Cottage from Lyon.
