While OL were playing their 32nd French Cup final, Wilfried Zaha was in England to watch Crystal Palace-Arsenal. A trip not necessarily negative for the Rhone club with a view to the January transfer window.
The mayonnaise is definitely not going well between Wilfried Zaha and Olympique Lyonnais. Arriving on loan at the end of the summer transfer window, the Ivorian never really integrated into his new club. Little invested in training and matches, he was often dismissed by Pierre Sage. The understanding between the two men is unlikely to improve after Saturday. While OL faced Feignies-Aulnoye in the French Cup, Zaha was in the Crystal Palace stands for the Arsenal reception. Beyond meeting his friends at the club, the Ivorian striker will perhaps relaunch his career with this trip.
Zaha heading for a return to Crystal Palace in January?
According to OL journalist Olivier Salmon, Wilfried Zaha came to survey his former club with a view to the transfer window. In failure on the Lyon side, the player belonging to Galatasaray “ is listening to projects and offers for the last part of his career “. A return to Crystal Palace is therefore as possible as the continuation of his adventure in Türkiye.
This London transfer would suit the player but also the Eagles. 15th in the Premier League, Crystal Palace is fighting to maintain its position this season and will never snub one of the most important players in its history. The 32-year-old Ivorian international would be more comfortable in his training club where he spent 20 years of his footballing life. OL hope that the couple will reform in January to remove from their squad a player who is as useless on the pitch as he is expensive for their finances.
