Per the Daily Telegraph, Palace are interested in signing Zaha and bringing him back to Selhurst Park for a third spell. The winger came up through the club's academy before earning a move to Manchester United in 2013. He returned to Palace on loan initially, then permanently in 2015, and spent another eight years at the club before moving to Galatasaray as a free agent last summer.

While Zaha signed a lucrative contract upon his arrival in Turkey, the two parties have agreed to explore options for a separation this summer. The Turkish club are seeking a £9 million ($11m) loan fee to let Zaha move on a short-term deal, and Palace are willing to pay such a figure.
DID YOU KNOW?
While Galatasaray won the Turkish title, Zaha made just 13 starts in the Super Lig, and was used more often as a rotation option in the final weeks of the season. Hence the club's willingness to move the Ivory Coast international on.

Zaha could potentially move to Palace this summer and look to add to his legendary status at Selhurst Park. He has recorded 458 appearances for the Eagles throughout his career, scoring 90 goals and registering 62 assists.
