However, Palace, who are set to lose Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United for £50m, do not want to sell Zaha and value him at £80m.

If a deal is completed and Zaha is sold, United have a 25 per cent sell on clause after he rejoined Palace from the Old Trafford side in 2015.

It has previously been reported Zaha has told Crystal Palace he wants to leave this summer.

Zaha scored 10 goals in an impressive 2018-19 Premier League campaign.
