‘Zaha would be fantastic at Chelsea’ – Former Crystal Palace boss talks up cross-London transfer

The Ivory Coast international continues to generate plenty of speculation, with Ian Holloway seeing him as a good fit for those at Stamford Bridge

Wilfried Zaha would be “fantastic” for Chelsea, says former Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway, with the Blues in a position to buy again after seeing a transfer ban lifted.

The Ivory Coast international has been generating exit talk at Selhurst Park for some time.

He was heavily linked with a switch to Arsenal over the summer, before the Gunners settled on a club-record £72 million ($95m) deal for Nicolas Pepe.
