A contract offer from the Eagles is reportedly incoming. However, Palace fans will be concerned that their star man could be allowed to leave for nothing next summer.<\/p>\n<p>London rivals <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/11\/03\/arsenal-vs-fc-zurich-predictions-november-3\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/11\/02\/chelsea-dinamo-zagreb-predictions-best-odds\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a> are watching the situation closely with clubs allowed to negotiate with the player from January 1st ahead of a free transfer.<\/p>\n<h3>Fabrizio Romano on Saha Contract and Possible Move Away From Palace<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking on his daily briefing via <a href=\"https:\/\/caughtoffside.substack.com\/p\/the-daily-briefing-arsenal-scouting\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caught Offside<\/a>, Romano had this to say on the developing situation regarding the Crystal Palace star man. He said: Wilfried Zaha\u00a0has not made any decision yet on his future. Crystal Palace have informed him of the intention to offer a new deal. In this case, it&#8217;s only up to Zaha and he has not decided yet.<\/p>\n<p>I think he could be an interesting solution for many big six clubs, but he needs to play regularly. It&#8217;s really important for him. As things stand, he could be a free agent next summer and that\u2019s a great opportunity for many clubs, but let\u2019s see what happens in the next few months.<\/p>\n<h3>Zaha&#8217;s Last Exit Did Not Go as Expected<\/h3>\n<p>Should Wilfried Zaha leave Palace for a top-six club, it will not be the first time it has happened. Following three impressive seasons at the beginning of his career with the Eagles, Zaha moved to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/11\/03\/reported-plans-for-manchester-united-january\/\" target=\"_self\">Manchester United<\/a> in 2013 for an initial \u00a310 million on a five-and-a-half-year contract. Within half a season, Zaha was loaned out to Cardiff City.<\/p>\n<p>One year after moving to Old Trafford, Zaha was back at Selhurst Park. It was initially on loan; however, the move was soon made permanent. The Ivory Coast international may now feel it is time to try another move away from his familiar surroundings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crystal Palace star man Wilfried Zaha is attracting interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
