Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha in surprise Bundesliga link

German giants Borussia Dortmund are eyeing a move for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha according to reports. Zaha, despite being just 25, has spent 4 separate stints with Palace already to this point in his career. After coming up through the club’s youth system, the youngster’s impressive performances from 2010-2013 at Selhurst Park saw Zaha earn a high-profile move to Manchester United.

However, his time at Old Trafford proved to be a major disappointment, with Zaha having actually returned to Crystal Palace for two separate loan spells in 2013 and 2014. The Eagles subsequently made the African dynamo’s return to the club permanent in 2015, with Zaha having since gone on to establish himself as one of the most sought-after players in the Premier League.

The pacy wide-man’s showings this past season in particular (9 goals and 5 assists in 29 league outings) have since seen Zaha linked with a number of other Premier League clubs, with Tottenham the most heavily-linked. The Palace standout was reported to have turned down a £125,000-per-week contract offer from the club over the weekend, leading to intense speculation that Zaha could be on the move once again this summer.
