Serie A leaders AC Milan are eager to add Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha to their title-seeking squad, according to reports.
Zaha scored his eighth goal of the season when Palace drew 1-1 at home to Leicester in the Premier League on Monday, and The Sun has claimed the 28-year-old’s performances have attracted Milan.
The Rossoneri are having an excellent season but are heavily reliant on goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who turned 39 in October.
Evergreen Ibrahimovic has scored ten times this season, leaving the Swedish legend six goals ahead of Milan’s next top scorer.
Palace talisman Zaha has been directly involved in 10 goals in just 14 games this season, returning the first game against the high-flying Foxes at Selhurst Park.
He has often been linked to a departure from the club, but Eagles boss Roy Hodgson has spoken openly of his enthusiasm for retaining Zaha, who is under contract until 2023.
Milan is said to have been impressed by Zaha’s move to a more central position and the excess of goals for his low-scoring club.
The report claims that boss Stefano Pioli sees Zaha as the player who could make a difference in his attempt to guide the Italian giants to their first league title since 2011.
Everton had an offer for Zaha turned down in August 2019, and Milan might be willing to break the bank as they try to extend their one-point lead over second-ranked Inter Milan and keep their other rivals at bay.
Reigning champion Juventus, who has Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks, has yet to reach his best form, ranking 10 points behind Milan with one game less.
Ibrahimovic is extremely fit but has missed more than half of his team’s league games so far this season, including the last six due to injuries.
