Palace 'demanding £80m for Arsenal target Zaha'

Crystal Palace reportedly place an £80m price tag on wantaway winger Wilfried Zaha amid alleged interest from Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Crystal Palace have reportedly slapped an £80m price tag on the head of rumoured Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur target Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha confirmed his desire to leave the Eagles in order to play Champions League football earlier today, with Palace now resigned to losing their star man.

However, they will not let the 26-year-old leave on the cheap, and the Daily Mail claims that Palace will only consider bids of around £75m-£80m for the Ivory Coast international.

The asking price could prove problematic for both Arsenal and Spurs, who have scouted the winger intensively but are unlikely to be able to afford spending up to £80m on one player.

Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan have also been credited with an interest in Zaha, while both Manchester clubs have been mentioned in the past too - although his unsuccessful spell at Manchester United earlier in his career could see him rule out a return to Old Trafford.

The report goes on to state that Palace are determined to keep hold of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has also been linked with a number of England's biggest clubs following his breakthrough campaign.
