Crystal Palace are reportedly exploring a potential return for Wilfried Zaha as transfer speculation heats up. The Eagles, who finished 15th in the Premier League last season with 45 points (11W-12D-15L), are looking to bolster their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Who could be on the move?
The latest rumours suggest Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones is attracting interest from Inter Milan, while Crystal Palace are linked with a reunion for Zaha, who left the club in 2023. Meanwhile, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly on Al-Hilal's radar, and Troy Parrott could be heading to West Ham.
Why it matters for Crystal Palace
A return for Zaha would bring experience and creativity to a Palace side that scored 41 goals last season but conceded 51. The Eagles finished 40 points behind leaders Arsenal and lost their last two matches, including a 1-2 defeat to Arsenal on 24 May 2026. Their recent form (LDLDL) highlights the need for reinforcements.
What comes next?
With the transfer window open, Palace will be looking to finalise deals before their next fixture against Ipswich on 12 September 2026. Manager Roy Hodgson may prioritise attacking options to address their goal difference (-10) and improve their chances of climbing the table.
