14. Crystal Palace: Keep Wilfried Zaha beyond January
Every time Wilfried Zaha puts in a match-winning shift has to be a bitter feeling for Crystal Palace fans. On the one hand, Zaha’s magic is enough to keep the Eagles in the division, yet it also makes the growing list of suitors even more determined to sign the winger.
Those suitors feature some prominent clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, per Jacob Steinberg of the Guardian. Keeping Zaha beyond the January transfer window will be no easy task for Palace.
Manager Roy Hodgson needs the 25-year-old to stay put for the duration of the season. Hodgson knows how Zaha’s trickery, skill and vision can turn any game in an instant.
Problem is the player who once flopped at Manchester United now looks ready for the big stage.
