Dortmund Ready to smash transfer record for Zaha

Borussia Dortmund are prepared to smash their transfer record to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, according to reports.

Zaha has three goals and two assists in 20 Premier League matches so far this campaign with the ex-Manchester United man failing to replicate the same form as last term.

However, that hasn’t stopped Dortmund from expressing an interest in Zaha, according to The Guardian.

Christian Pulisic will leave the Bundesliga outfit in the summer after they agreed to his £58million sale to Chelsea.

Zaha would be seen as a replacement for Pulisic with the report adding that Dortmund have already been in touch with the Ivory Coast international’s representatives.

Palace are likely to demand a fee in excess of £50million for Zaha with the 26-year-old understood to be open to a move to Germany.

Dortmund’s current record transfer is the €30million they paid for Andre Schurrle when they bought the World Cup winner from Wolfsburg in 2016.

Zaha only signed a new £130,000-a-week deal in the summer that keeps him at Selhurst Park until 2023 – but it is believed that he is keen to play in the Champions League again.
