Chelsea 'planning January move for Wilfried Zaha'

Chelsea are reportedly preparing a January bid for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

Both Arsenal and Everton were strongly linked with the Ivory Coast international during the summer but neither were able to agree a fee with Palace.

The 27-year-old has struggled to make his mark for the Eagles this season, managing just two Premier League goals in 16 appearances following a summer of speculation.

However, according to The Mirror, Chelsea are planning a mid-season swoop for the attacker with the Blues recently having their transfer suspension lifted, meaning that they will be able to sign players in January.

Zaha, who managed 10 goals and 10 assists in 34 Premier League appearances last term, has a contract at Selhurst Park until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

Frank Lampard's side have also been strongly linked with a bid for Jadon Sancho, although the England international will seemingly not be allowed to leave Borussia Dortmund in the middle of the campaign.
