Crystal Palace confident over Wilfried Zaha stay amid three rival contract offers

Wilfried Zaha continues to weigh up his offers as Crystal Palace remain confident about keeping their talisman.

The 30-year-old has four main proposals on the table as things stand but hasn’t attracted interest from any of Europe’s most powerful clubs despite currently being a free agent.

Palace, Lazio, Fenerbahce and Al-Nassr are the sides to have presented deals so far and the lack of offers from ‘Big Six’ or truly elite Champions League clubs has left Palace confident about retaining their star winger.

The Eagles have offered a deal worth £200,000 a week which is the second best financial package put forward after Al-Nassr, but Zaha is reluctant to move his young family to Saudi Arabia.

Zaha is seemingly waiting for a plea from Palace officials to stay and also show their ambition to take the club to the next level.

There are some doubts around Palace, however, after they appointed Roy Hodgson as their manager for a further season and with Liverpool now chasing star midfielder Cheick Doucoure. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are all interested in Marc Guehi, meanwhile.
