Crystal Palace are in talks with Galatasaray over the return of Wilfried Zaha for a third spell. The winger is considered a club legend by the Eagles, and left for Turkey last summer after his contract expired.
This past season, Zaha scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 43 games. However, Gala are willing to let him go on loan this summer. But facilitating the move would require a massive fee for Palace, which could be a problem.

The winger has scored 90 goals in 458 appearances for Crystal Palace over two spells. He initially left to sign for Manchester United but returned after things didn’t work out.
Interestingly, Palace have signed former Watford forward Ismaila Sarr to reinforce their attack. He had a stale season at Marseille and is now back in England to hopefully revive his career. As a result, the club already has someone to fill in for Zaha if he doesn’t return, even with Michael Olise’s move to Bayern.
However, it would be interesting to see the Ivorian back in Palace colors, given the connection he has with fans.
Which other attacking midfielder have Palace signed?
Daichi Kamada from Lazio
