Wilfried Zaha wants a big-money switch to Chelsea and has reportedly told Crystal Palace teammates he is determined to quit the club.
The 25-year-old Ivory Coast international bagged nine goals and three assists last term, despite missing five weeks of the season injured.
That prompted Palace to offer Zaha a new deal worth £125,000-a-week — although he only signed one for £100,000-a-week 15 months ago – but Zaha has rejected it in a bid to force a move.
He has already snubbed interest from Everton as he is reluctant to move north again, after a failed stint with Manchester United.
Everton turned to Watford wideman Richarlison instead, and now Zaha is up for a move across London, where he is settled.
He could even consider lodging an official transfer request after Palace told him they would only consider an irresistibly huge offer.
