It's always felt like one of the transfers that would be talked about but never achieved. Right in the leagues of Hulk or Edinson Cavani - when he was younger. Now, Wilfried Zaha is making his annual trip into Chelsea's head as Thomas Tuchel looks for more attackers to strengthen his frontline.
The Ivorian had another productive season for Crystal Palace last term, scoring 14 for a team that only managed 50 in the league. He is 29 now but that wouldn't bother Tuchel who not only wants to add experience, but also quality and Premier League-proven class to his XI.
Zaha has been back at Palace for nine years since his failed move to Manchester United and every summer he is linked with a move to Chelsea, but there's a chance that it has never made more sense than now, depending on the money involved.
