Transfer: Tuchel likes him – Phillips reveals player to join Chelsea

Football journalist, Simon Phillips, has revealed that Chelsea are monitoring the situation of Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha in the ongoing summer transfer window.

According to Phillips, Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, likes Zaha and the Ivory Coast international is on the German’s list of players to join the West London club.

Speaking on GiveMeSport, Phillips said, “Zaha is definitely on the list, and he’s a player that they have spoken about internally.

“(Thomas) Tuchel likes him, and he will be more attainable in the sense of a fee because he’s only got one year left on his contract.”

Zaha has registered 86 goals and 73 assists in 433 appearances for Crystal Palace in all competitions.

He has started the new season on a positive note, scoring three goals in four matches so far.
