United pursuing Championship starlet

Manchester United are the latest club to join the race for the signature of Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha has impressed everyone this season as for a player of such a young age he has already matured into a talent that could potentially last for many more years.

United are going to make an approach for Zaha when the transfer window opens in January but so are the Gunners therefore a scrap for the hottest prospect in English football is likely to commence come New Years Day.

Ferguson’s objective for this transfer window is to add pace to his squad and therefore he will enquire about Arsenal’s Theo Walcott and his availability.

Although there will be a scrap for Zaha, Ian Holloway insists he won’t sell his man in January but has had to admit he will struggle to keep Zaha in the long future that is unless he can get Palace up into the Premiership, and maybe then Zaha wouldn’t need to leave to play in the top league.

So far this season Wilfried Zaha has scored 4 goals but it’s not the goals that makes Zaha such a valued player it’s his general link up play and ability to get others around into good positions.
