However, Zaha - who has just two years remaining on his contract - is now ready to call time on his Eagles adventure for good.
The forward is desperate to impress at a big club, having failed to score in just four games for Manchester United in the 2013/14 campaign.
And Zaha hopes to end up at a new club before Palace’s pre-season training begins in early July.
Everton are reportedly interested in a £40m deal, while Tottenham are also said to be keen.
