Top five clubs that can sign Wilfried Zaha in summer 2023

The Ivory Coast international is out of contract next summer

The international player from the Ivory Coast, whose deal at Selhurst Park is about to expire, would be free to go in the summer.

On his best days, Wilfried Zaha is a great talent who has had a successful career in the Premier League. However, as a young player, Zaha suffered during a period at Manchester United.

There will undoubtedly be bidders in the Premier League in the coming months who may perhaps encourage Zaha to stay here for a little while if he doesn't wind up agreeing on a new contract with Palace.

5. Newcastle United

When Wilfried Zaha becomes a free agent in the summer of 2019, Newcastle are rumoured to be the front-runner to sign him. He would receive a season from Newcastle, making a transfer to Tyneside more likely. After the takeover in October 2021, Newcastle is rumoured to have been considering signing the Eagles winger. Nearly all of Zaha's professional life has been spent with the club in London.

4. Borussia Dortmund

Again, this a very improbable place to end up, but if Jadon Sancho, another youngster at risk of joining the army of those who simply want to stop hearing about these rumours, leaves Borussia Dortmund this summer, it could start to look more possible.

Zaha would not be a straight successor for Sancho, who often plays on Dortmund's right side, and the Palace player doesn't exactly match the typical Dortmund profile in terms of concerns about big-money transfers, but it's not completely out of the question, compared to Bale at Spurs.

3. Tottenham

If Harry Kane stays at Spurs for the upcoming season, it is unlikely that they will spend the kind of money required to persuade Palace to sell their star, but if Kane does go, they will have a sizable budget to work with as they try to add offensive reinforcements.

Zaha would be a terrific addition if he could modify his style to play across the front three. However, there are currently a lot of ifs and buts surrounding the transfer.

2. Al-Ittihad

Despite Al Ittihad's substantial offer, Zaha is still weighing his options. He would want to have the choice to stay in England, but the Premier League's "big six" have shown less interest recently. Al Ittihad, who are vying for the Pro League championship with Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr. But the Saudi side will surely try again to sign the tricky winger.

1. Arsenal

Mikel Arteta will be aware that his forward needs some quality reinforcements if Arsenal is to contend at the highest level of the Premier League at any point in the near future.

Since he first stated in 1962 that he wanted to play in Europe, Zaha has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium. While the move would make sense for him geographically, it would be a little odd considering Arsenal's left wing is one of the areas that they most likely don't need to focus on bolstering.
