The club are considering another improved offer

Wilfried Zaha came up through the ranks of Crystal Palace and made his senior debut for the club in the 2010-2011 season. He was instrumental in the club’s promotion to the Premier League before attracting interest from Manchester United and joining them.

But the winger struggled to find his feet at United as he found himself out of favour by then manager David Moyes. In the following season he went to Palace on a loan deal before making the move permanent in 2015.

Since then the 25 year old has been the main man for the Eagles, singlehandedly winning many matches for the club. He has developed himself as one of the best and most exciting performers in the league.

The Ivory International enjoyed his most productive campaign ever last season, scoring 9 goals and assisting 3 in 29 league appearances despite sidelined for 2 separate spells. His performances helped the club secure the Premier League football as they failed to win a single match in the 9 games he missed.

He signed a new five-year deal last summer worth around £110,000 a week but has been heavily linked with a summer exit. Tottenham, Everton and Borussia Dortmund have all shown strong interest.

Zaha has turned down the offer of a new deal at Crystal Palace, reports The Sun , with the transfer door being left open. He has snubbed terms worth £120,000-a-week amid mounting interest.

The player himself wants to test himself at another big club after after struggling to make any significant impact for the Red Devils.

But the English side are desperate to keep hold of their star player this summer and have put a £70 million price tag on him in a bid to stave off interest. They are also considering offering him an improved £135,000-a-week deal in an attempt to ensures he stays with them.
