Former Manchester United winger could return to Premier League
Wilfried Zaha could be heading back to the English Premier League. The former Manchester United and Crystal Palace winger is currently playing for Galatasaray in Turkey. He left England last summer in search of European football.
According to Ekrem Konur, who covers football for ESPN and Goal, four English teams are showing interest in potentially signing Zaha in the summer.
"Fulham, Everton, West Ham and Wolverhampton are monitoring the situation of Galatasaray's 31-year-old winger Wilfried Zaha," Konur reported.
Zaha has played 35 games across all competitions for Galatasaray this season. He's scored 10 goals and dished out five assists. Before moving to Turkey, Zaha had interest from around Europe, including from teams in England. He also had the opportunity to remain in London with Palace. Now, it looks like his venture into Turkish football could be short-lived.
However, if Zaha wants to continue playing European football, a move back to England might not be the best decision. None of the teams rumored to be interested in him would provide continental football next season. West Ham would likely be his best bet for European football in the near future.
Still, Zaha was among the better wingers in the Premier League before leaving. He is too talented to be playing in Turkey, which is dominated by just two clubs. Moving back into a bigger pond will allow him to continue testing himself at the highest level. That competition should outweigh a few Champions League games each year.
Zaha will be 32 next season. His chances of playing at an elite level will slowly fade away in the coming years. If he wants one last run in the Premier League, this summer would be the best time to do it.
