According to Konstantinos Lianos of the Daily Express<\/a>, Chelsea<\/a> are showing a keen interest in Crystal Palace<\/a> winger Wilfried Zaha.<\/a><\/p>\n

Chelsea And Tottenham Keen On Crystal Palace Winger Wilfried Zaha<\/h2>\n

Substantial Interest<\/h3>\n

The Ivorian is one of Chelsea’s targets for this January transfer window, as Frank Lampard looks to add another winger to his squad.<\/p>\n

The Chelsea boss is set to lose one winger in the summer, with Pedro’s<\/a> contract expiring at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

However, the Spaniard could also be joined by Willian<\/a> in leaving Stamford Bridge, as the Brazilian’s contract also expires in the summer.<\/p>\n

As a result, Chelsea are already lining up replacements, with Zaha being on their list of targets.<\/p>\n

However, the Blues are not looking to pay the \u00a380 million asking price for the winger. Palace, though, are not backing down from their valuation.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Chelsea are also facing competition from rivals Tottenham<\/a>, according to Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, like Chelsea, Tottenham do not want to pay the asking price for the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n

Still Looking To Leave Crystal Palace<\/h3>\n

Wilfried Zaha is still looking to leave Crystal Palace, despite spending much of his career with the club.<\/p>\n

He is insistent on testing himself at the highest level, with playing in the Champions League his goal, something the Eagles are unlikely to be able to offer.<\/p>\n

Zaha came close to leaving during the summer transfer window. Arsenal were<\/a> keeping a close interest, before opting to sign Nicolas Pepe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were also joined by Everton<\/a> in the race for Zaha last summer. However, Palace would not back down from their \u00a380 million valuation.<\/p>\n

As a result, the 27-year-old remained at Selhurst Park. However, he has had a poor first half of the season, with just three goals and two assists to his name.<\/p>\n
