Crystal Palace: Fans react to Chelsea’s reported interest in Wilfried Zaha

Many Crystal Palace fans on Twitter say that they would be more than willing to accept an £80m offer from Chelsea, if one was to come in for him.

The Sun have reported that Chelsea will make an £80m bid for the Ivory Coast international during the January transfer widow, if they are successful in overturning their transfer ban.

Palace have managed to keep their star player for the whole of the English summer window, yet just the day after it has closed, he has been linked with another move.

The report suggests that Zaha had reluctantly agreed to stay at the club on deadline day, but will still want to leave the club in the January transfer window.

It also says that an ‘uncomfortable truce’ was agreed between chairman Steve Parish and his winger after he was denied a big move to Everton in the last couple of days in the window.

Zaha handed in a transfer request on Wednesday – the day before deadline day – after an alleged bid (The Guardian) from Everton was rejected.

After a long summer for Palace fans, it seems many of them have now had enough of this Wilfried Zaha saga, and want it to be wrapped up as soon as possible.
