Man Utd and Chelsea handed Wilfried Zaha transfer boost in form of price tag

Wilfried Zaha could be available for as little as £30m as Crystal Palace prepare to sell their star man.

The winger has again expressed his desire to move on from Selhurst Park having attracted interest from Arsenal and Everton last summer.

Palace have warned off several suitors over the years and maintained that Zaha will not be sold.

But the 27-year-old could finally get his wish with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea circling.

The Eagles have previously quoted teams £70m for their academy product which has made a transfer unlikely.

But a fee of less than half the previous amount could now be enough to secure Zaha's services, reports The Sun.

The Palace star has a contract until 2023 and earns £130,000-a-week in south London which has made it difficult for buyers.

But Roy Hodgson recently admitted that whilst the club would love to retain the winger that may not be possible.

"It's obviously affected him because his form in the last few weeks has really been quite poor considering what he is capable of doing," said the Eagles boss.

"It's a dilemma for the club and a dilemma for him if he is so set on leaving. If he feels he just does not want to be with us any more, that would be sad.

"We still like him very much; we can't make him like us. This is a situation that only he and the club can sort out. I don't have an answer."

Zaha actually endured one of his least productive seasons in a Palace shirt last term scoring just four times in 39 outings.

Throughout his career the Ivorian has made over 350 appearances across two spells at Selhurst Park.

He left for United in 2013 before returning soon after but is again ready to challenge himself.
