Zaha 'demands Palace exit' amid United interest

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has reportedly informed chairman Steve Parish that he wants to leave the club this summer.

The Ivory Coast international has recently been linked with a return to Manchester United, while North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are also believed to be interested.

Zaha admitted last month he wants to play Champions League football - something Man United cannot offer in the 2019-20 season - and the Daily Mail claims he has put the wheels in motion to leave Selhurst Park.

The report suggests that the 26-year-old, who lasted just a season at Old Trafford before returning to Palace, hopes his plea to Parish will prompt a summer transfer.

However, the Eagles have made clear that they want £80m for Zaha because of his impact in the Premier League over the past couple of seasons.

Speaking last weekend, Roy Hodgson talked up the importance of keeping Zaha and young full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka at the club.
