That old chestnut of Wilfried Zaha leaving Crystal Palace has raised its head once again.
This time however Palace have been involved in talks over his possible replacement.
Zaha has outlined his plans to leave this summer before the squad returns for pre-season training next month.
He put in an official transfer request ten days ago.
Palace chairman Steve Parish does not want to sell his star player but is willing to grant Wilfried’s wish if sensible offers come in.
Everton were interested but with Ancelotti leaving these plans have now changed.
Tottenham were also watching Zaha’s situation but they too are searching for a new manager so everything is on hold.
Whoever takes over from Roy Hodgson as manager will not want to lose Zaha especially as Eberchi Eze will miss the start of the new season with an Achilles injury.
Unfortunately for Palace, any fee collected for Wilfried immediately sees 25% of that money being paid to Manchester United under the contract which took him from Old Trafford to London in 2015.
Belgium striker Christian Benteke has signed a new two-year contract to stay at Selhurst Park.
