Chelsea would be the best home for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
That's the view of Eagles legend John Salako, who is concerned that the upcoming January transfer window could prove difficult in the club's attempts to keep hold of their star player.
During the summer it looked like the Ivory Coast international would be on the move.
Zaha reportedly informed Palace of his intentions to leave upon returning from the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
However, Arsenal saw a £40m bid rejected and ended up signing his international teammate Nicolas Pepe for £72m, while Everton weren't able to agree a deal with the south London outfit.
Amid concerns that Zaha could be on the move in January, Salako has outlined exactly why Stamford Bridge would be perfect for the winger.
"Of course [there's still concern he could leave in January]. I think Chelsea would probably be the best home for him after their ban," Salako told LoveSportRadio.
"They've got a really exciting young side there, and Wilf could come in and add to that.
"He could well move there, but Arsenal could come back with the money too. Anything could happen!"
If Zaha were to leave Selhurst Park in the summer, Salako doesn't believe there would be much of a fan backlash.
"Of course the fans are going to forgive him!" he added. "The biggest coup over the summer was keeping Wilf. He obviously had his head turned but he's been magnificent.
"No one begrudged him wanting a move.
"He made it very clear he wanted a big move, and wanted to play Champions League Football. No one resents that, and we'd have wished him well if he'd got that transfer".
"It would have been difficult for him because he had his mind set on going. He's had to get his head down and focus on Crystal Palace, and he's done that.
"He's back to his best!"
Of course, the west London outfit weren't able to sign players during the summer because of a transfer ban and that's allowed Frank Lampard to place his faith in academy stars such as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori.
But will that ban be lifted in time for January?
