Latest On Wilfried Zaha, Sanchez, James and Brandt<\/h1>\n

Zaha Wants Out<\/h2>\n

Crystal Palace’s influential forward Wilfried Zaha has told the club that he wants to leave in search of Champions League football, according to Adrian Kajumba of the Mail Online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Palace are set to demand \u00a380 million for the Ivory Coast international, which has left Zaha worried that he could be priced out of a move.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United man wants the situation resolved quickly, therefore getting out of the club before they return for pre-season training.<\/p>\n

Juventus Join Sanchez Race<\/h2>\n

According to Miguel Delaney of The Independent<\/a>, Juventus<\/a> have joined Inter Milan in the race to sign Alexis Sanchez.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils are desperate to offload the Chilean, who has failed to match the astronomical wages he is paid since his move from Arsenal<\/a>. United are finding this to be the main stumbling block as many sides are not willing to match the pay packet.<\/p>\n

Both Inter and Juventus will only consider a move if Sanchez is willing to drop his wage demands and while negotiations are at an early stage with both sides, progress is being made in both sets of meetings.<\/p>\n

James Deal Edging Closer<\/h2>\n

Manchester United are edging closer to a deal for Swansea City<\/a> youngster Daniel James, according to James Robson of the London Evening Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United are growing increasingly worried that they will miss out of their top target, Borrusia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, so are desperate to get a deal between \u00a315-20 million done for the young Wales international.<\/p>\n

James’ ability with both feet is seen as the big factor in United’s interest as they aim to solve the problem on their right-hand side, despite James usually operating on the left for the Swans.<\/p>\n

Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly told Ed Woodward that he wants all of his transfer deals done by July 1.<\/p>\n

Brandt on Spurs’ Radar<\/h2>\n

According to Simon Jones of the Mail Online<\/a>, Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs monitoring Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Julian Brandt.<\/p>\n
