# Chelsea: Fans saddened after links with Wilfried Zaha

**Chelsea fans were left saddened after reports from the Independent about Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.**

[According to the British publication](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-transfer-news-wilfried-zaha-crystal-palace-latest-epl-a9234451.html), the player’s agent Federico Pastorello has been in talks with Chelsea director of football Marina Granovskaia.

Zaha failed to secure a move away from Selhurst Park last summer despite interest from both [Arsenal and Everton](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/09/12/wilfried-zaha-wants-new-agent-failure-secure-move-arsenal-everton/).

He has only recently started to pick up some form in the Premier League after a slow start to the season, scoring two goals in his last three games ([via Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-zaha/leistungsdaten/spieler/145988)).

A move away from the club in the near future seems to be on the cards, with manager Roy Hodgson claiming that it’s not easy to keep a hold of players ‘when you’re Crystal Palace’ ([via Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/11874870/wilfried-zaha-crystal-palace-boss-roy-hodgson-ready-for-renewed-transfer-battle)).

Chelsea have flourished in attack this season, scoring 30 goals in the top flight, the fourth-most of any team in the league [(via Premier League)](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/clubs/goals?se=274).

However, fans weren’t happy after they were linked with a move for Zaha as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the west London faithful:
