Crystal Palace to turn to £25m-rated Watford forward Ismaila Sarr to replace Wilfried Zaha if the Ivorian leaves Selhurst Park to join Chelsea

Crystal Palace will target Watford's Ismaila Sarr as a replacement for Wilfried Zaha should the Ivory Coast international depart for Chelsea.

Palace have drawn up contingency plans should Chelsea firm up their interest in 29-year-old Zaha who only has a year left on his contract at Selhurst Park - and Sarr is top of the wishlist.

The Watford winger has been subject of previous interest from Palace but they baulked at the £45million price tag.
