Palace resigned to selling unsettled Zaha

- From Back Page by ADRIAN KAjUmbA

Manchester United forward is keen to have his future resolved before Palace’s players return for pre-season and avoid the situation dragging on too long. The south London club are acutely aware of the impact that losing their 26-year-old talisman could have on Roy Hodgson’s team. However, there is resignatio­n that they can no longer keep hold of Zaha and they are

ready to listen to offers. Palace will demand a huge fee for their prized asset as they look to replenish the squad to reduce the impact of Zaha’s exit. It is thought they would prefer to invest the money in two or three players. Zaha’s exit is likely to mean right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka will stay. Palace fear a supporter backlash if they sell Zaha and Wan-Bissaka in the same summer. The England Under 21 defender is attracting interest from top Premier League clubs but only an offer way above his market value would force Palace into rethinking their stance.
