Tottenham have pulled out of the race for Wilfried Zaha after Crystal Palace demanded £75million for the winger.
And that’s left Chelsea a clear run at the 25-year-old Ivory Coast international.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was keen to land Zaha – but he’s been blown out of the water by Palace’s valuation.
Zaha, who signed a £100,000-a-week new deal at Selhurst Park just over a year ago, has rejected Palace’s offer of a new contract boosting his pay packet by another £25,000-a-week.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson is adamant former Manchester United star Zaha is going nowhere and is vital to their plans.
But Zaha believes he has done his time at Palace and wants to push through a move to Chelsea who are deliberating on the future of Willian, with Barcelona and Manchester United circling the Blues star.

It would give the winger a better long-term chance of Champions League football, his next goal.
He faces a fight with Palace to let him go – but if Chelsea go close to the huge asking price the Eagles WILL do a deal.

€40 -45 could be good instead of that their asking price €75 He could be good for the 4 3 3 formation for sub. Hazard Morata Williams Joginho Kanta Fabrigas Alonso Luiz Rudiga Azpicuita Cotouirs Zaha, in for Williams or sometimes Pedro or Odoi Bakley for Fabrigas or Bakayoko

He will def be a good up grade to Willian but still I would prefer Chelsea don't sell him to united even if he wants to leave, I don't want another Matic situation....but having Zaha and Callie on the wings with hazard in the center
