Chelsea told to complete dream transfer for Premier League rival who would 'walk into the team'

Todd Boehly has been told Chelsea must sign Wilfried Zaha because the Crystal Palace star would 'walk into the team'. The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Selhurst Park for some time now as he continues to impress for the Eagles.

Zaha, who sees his contract at Palace expire in 2023, has featured 11 times for Patrick Vieira's side in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards six goals. His displays have clawed the south London side into the top half of the table, further strengthening the interest of potential suitors.

As it stands, the Ivory Coast international will be able to start pre-contract talks with foreign clubs in January should he decide against signing a new deal. But if he were to hold out until June - when his tenure officially comes to an end - then a Premier League move would be on the cards.
