Wilfried Zaha tells Crystal Palace he wants to leave THIS MONTH as former Man Utd winger looks to finally quit Eagles
WILFRIED ZAHA has reportedly told Crystal Palace he wants to leave.
And the former Manchester United star hopes to secure a transfer away this MONTH.
Zaha began his career with Palace as a kid in 2004, and has scored 68 times in 393 games across two spells.
The Ivory Coast international looked likely to leave the Eagles in 2019 amid interest from Arsenal and Everton.

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.

The Eagles now find themselves in a tough predicament as they continue to hunt for a new manager.
SunSport exclusively revealed that former Wolves gaffer Nuno Espirito Santo is leading the pack.
And he may want Zaha to remain in order to take charge at Selhurst Park.
Other managers linked with the Palace job include Frank Lampard, Eddie Howe and Steve Cooper.
But no matter who gets the gig, they will immediately be facing a losing battle to keep Zaha.
