He won the Turkish Super Lig with Galatasaray last season and is set to play in the Champions League this season. Zaha might return to the Premier League, and Crystal Palace has been considering a move to bring him back to Selhurst Park. However, Palace has competition from Leicester, who are interested in Zaha and have conducted continuous conversations over a season-long loan deal.
Zaha, who has dropped down the pecking order at Galatasaray, is open to returning to the Premier League if a deal is reached. It’s unknown whether Zaha has a preference for where he wants to go. The 31-year-old winger made 42 appearances for Galatasaray last season, scoring and assisting in the Champions League group stage.
