Al-Nassr will hold further meetings with Wilfried Zaha’s agents THIS WEEK

It could be a pivotal week in the life of Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha as the Saudi Pro League try once again to tempt him.

The 30-year-old, who is out of contract this summer, has a number of offers on the table not least the one from the Eagles which is reputed to be worth £200,000 a week plus a hefty signing on fee.

Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Lazio have all made a pitch to the Ivory Coast international while he initially rejected a proposal from Al-Nassr.

However, emissaries from the Saudi Pro League will hold further meetings with his agents this week in an effort to convince him to follow Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruben Neves and Co.

It’s a busy time for Zaha as he plans to marry long-time girlfriend Paige Bannister. He was pictured en route to his stag do at the weekend, resplendent in a ‘Game Over’ T-shirt picturing a bride and groom with ball and chain.

After moving between Manchester United and the London side for the majority of his career, Zaha has made a whopping 458 appearances for Palace, returning 90 goals and 76 assists across all competitions.

He will go down as a legend of the club, topping their all-time appearance standings while also being the club’s second highest scorer.

Roy Hodgson’s side recently immortalized the forward, painting a giant mural of the winger on a building outside of Selhurst Park.

But it appears, he could be set to leave the club, with no news coming on whether he will accept tabled offers from Crystal Palace, with the club now looking towards Wilfried Gnonto as a potential replacement should they lose Zaha.

The Leeds forward was a shining light in a dismal campaign for the Yorkshire club, after he moved to the club in a bargain £4m move from FC Zurich last year.

That valuation has seen a sharp rise, with Gnonto now being valued at £30m by Leeds, with the Italian having now also amassed 10 caps for his national side.

He is one of several big talents that are currently being linked with a move to the Middle East, with Chelsea’s Kalidou Koulibaly yesterday announcing his transfer to Al-Hilal, following Ruben Neves and N’Golo Kante.

Meanwhile, several other big names including Bernardo Silva, Alvaro Morata, Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech and Demarai Gray have been linked with moves to the Kingdom.

Palace, meanwhile, suffered another blow yesterday, after Michael Olise sustained a hamstring injury during France U21’s 1-0 win against Norway, even after the PSG target scored the winning goal.

It comes as Hodgson’s side have slapped a £50m price tag on the 21-year-old winger in a bid to ward of the Parisians, following an exceptional season that has seen him provide 11 Premier League assists in 37 matches.
