Wilfried Zaha’s hopes of a summer move may rest on Crystal Palace listening to offers of a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of next season.
Zaha, 27, is open to a move away from Selhurst Park for European football after spending most of his career at the club. However, the transfer market has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and spending is expected to drop.
Clubs have been looking to be active in the market with cash alternatives including initial season-long loans which would see players sign permanently at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
While clubs like Palace would want full value for their assets, they would get a loan fee followed by the guarantee of the transfer fee in 10 months’ time.
Arsenal and Everton showed interest in Zaha last summer but nobody met Palace’s £80 million valuation of the Ivory Coast forward, with Nicolas Pepe ending up at the Emirates Stadium in a deal worth £72m from Lille.
Zaha has previously spoken about his ambitions of competing at the highest level of club football, while Arsenal may not be at Europe’s top table but they are Zaha’s boyhood team.
He has spent most of his career at Palace but had an unsuccessful brief spell at Manchester United, which included a loan to Cardiff City where he worked with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who went on to land the manager’s role at Old Trafford.
United are thought to have put in place an add-on to the deal that saw Zaha return to Palace, which means they get a percentage of future sales.
Zaha has been one of Palace’s most consistent performers during his last six years back at the club, none of which has seen the club relegated to the Championship.
But Roy Hodgson, the Palace manager, admitted Zaha’s form has been affected by uncertainty over his future, describing the situation as “a dilemma for him if he is so set on leaving”.

Nothing Wrong With Me
Well it wouldn't be the transfer season without a Zaha bump!
Yeah like Crystal Palace would accept a loan 
. are they still asking for 80M for guy who scored just handful of goals this season?

I don't care how good he'd be here, I'd cry tears of joy, if I'd see him revealed as an Arsenal player.
Would be so much fun

My favourite PL player to watch I think, would open the pitch up for Pepe as well with teams doubling up on Wilf.

A lot of paragraphs using recycled info essentially saying nothing. The market is bad so loans are an option oh and Arsenal had an interest in him last year so 2+2...I'd be annoyed if i'd paid for a subscription just to end up reading something i could have written myself. He should at least add an imaginary figure to the deal to spice it up a bit ffs.

Love the commentators to bits as well when he scores - that long "Zaaahaaaaaaa"
You'd bet he'd absolutely humiliate ManU, Sp**s and co. Pretty anxious he's going to do it to us because we get Willian on a 5 year contract
Country: England
Honestly Zaha Auba Pepe behind Arsenalmania's favourite Buendia serving up starters mains and desserts sounds sexy enough to me. Can't forget my boy Watkins coming off the bench to cause more chaos.

I'm all for this, but it would also mean that our Entire front line + partey would be leaving for AFCON if their respective countries classify.
Saka with them if he opts for Nigeria.

Looking for receipts 👀
The Zaha boat sailed away long ago. It was between him and Pepe and we probably picked the wrong one.
Cant go throwing another 60-70m on another wide player when the first one was meant to be exactly what we needed.

Think Zaha is 40-50m now that Corona happened and he's dead on leaving.
The boat for a massive fee has long sailed as well

Blame the mods, I put it in the summer transfers thread because it was a link.

Still need a creative passer if we get him but this would be saucy
We have other option need strength before thinking about Zaha, you first buy Partey get a creative midfielder a decent CB then you think about getting Zaha. Zaha is just a luxury player at the moment for us.
Obligatory "would palace take any of our players" post.
Weren't they after Chambers a while ago?
Also would it be a good fit for Nelson @MutableEarth re a PL loan?

Offer a Zaha / Pepe swap. Last year Zaha was probably a £70M player, we paid that for Pepe. This year both are probably £40M-£50M players. I'm sure Pepe would love to play for Roy.
