Chelsea FC have considered a late move for Crystal Palace winger, Wilfred Zaha.

Recall that Chelsea lost Lukaku and Timo Werner to Inter Milan and Leipzig respectively and are now in need of forwards.

Meanwhile, coach Thomas Tuchel is eager to bolster his attacking line ahead of the transfer deadline on September 1st, 2022.

All efforts to sign Gabon international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Spanish side Barcelona have proven abortive.

With time running out before the close of the deadline, Tuchel is now keen to lure Zaha to Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace have so far resisted selling the Ivory Coast international to a Premier League rival, previously placing an £80milllion price tag on the 29-year-old.

However, as Zaha now has less than one year left on his contract, Palace may decide to cash in on the winger now rather than allow him to depart on a free transfer next summer.
