Wilfried Zaha ‘keen on Premier League transfer return’ with ex-Man Utd star available for bargain fee
WILFRIED ZAHA is reportedly keen on a Premier League return this summer.
The former Manchester United and Crystal Palace forward joined Turkish giants Galatasaray on a free transfer last summer.
Zaha penned a long-term contract worth £300,000-a-week, making him the club’s top earner.
But despite winning the Super Lig with an incredible 102 points, Galatasaray face a financial crisis.
The Turks desperately need to cut back on their playing squad.
And the Daily Star claims Zaha is one player who will be up for grabs for a bargain fee this summer.
He netted 10 goals and bagged a further five assists to become a favourite with fans.
However, Zaha’s wages make him a prime candidate to leave.
And the Ivory Coast winger, 31, is now ready to return to the Premier League.
It’s believed Palace are keen on a third spell for the forward, who scored 18 goals in 143 games before joining United in 2013.

Zaha returned to Selhurst Park a year later before netting 72 times in 315 matches.
And with Oliver Glasner at the helm, and Michael Olise’s Bayern Munich departure freeing up a spot in attack, Palace could be an attractive move.
However, two other teams are also interested in bringing Zaha back to England.
West Ham are said to fancy him up front after making Julen Lopetegui their new boss.
But the Spaniard’s former club Wolves are also keen on signing Zaha, who can play anywhere across the front three.
Any move back to the Premier League would require Zaha to slash his wages.
And should Galatasaray offload other big earners first, they may yet want him to stay put in Istanbul.
