Chelsea could make a late attempt to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, according to The Independent.
The Blues are keen on bolstering their attack before the transfer deadline, and they are looking at multiple options.
Barcelona’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is their top target, but they are reluctant to pay £17 million for a 33-year-old.
Hence, the hierarchy are eyeing alternatives, and The Independent claim that talks have been held to bring Zaha to the club.
Zaha has been linked with a big-club move throughout his career, and he may finally get his wish with the west London giants.
He has been a loyal servant for the Eagles over the years, but they could be tempted to sell him with his deal expiring next summer.
Arsenal are also long-term admirers of the 29-year-old, and it remains to be seen whether they will enter the pursuit of his services.
The Gunners are on the hunt for a right-sided winger, but Zaha is left-wing dominant and has lately played up front for the Eagles.
