West Ham are still considering a move for former Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha after a failed attempt to sign him in January. The former Manchester United wide-man was offered to then-manager David Moyes, who declined the opportunity to bring him on board.

Zaha, who earned two caps for England before switching allegiances to Ivory Coast, completed a move to Galatasaray in Turkey. The winger signed a three-year deal with the Turkish side and has scored 10 goals in 39 games across all competitions for the Super Lig outfit.

Having left English football last summer, Zaha could be back in the Premier League sooner than expected as West Ham revisits their interest from the winter transfer window.

The 31-year-old departed Crystal Palace last summer on a free transfer, ending a long association with the Eagles. Zaha scored 90 goals in 458 appearances in all competitions for the South London club.

    Zaha doesn’t fit the Steiden profile, so I can only see this as idle rumour.

    Not much love for Will at the moment

    Let’s hope this is your usual bollox. MAJOR backward step for an injury-prone has-been. ‘Name’ who, let’s face it, is bloody average and a moaning diver. Face like a slapped arse and thinks he’s better than he ever was. NOT a West Ham player, unless Salthouse has his grubby fingers all over this.

      And not to mention his continued attempts at cheating and his intimidating face and antics towards refs..no thanks don’t want cheats and that goes for Grealish as well.

      Oh dear, not just a bigot but an ill-informed bigot at that! I’ll give you the ‘slpped arse’ comment, but you’re well wide of the mark otherwise. As you were continually told by the Palace fans “he’s just too good for you” and that’s a fact not just in opposition, but he’s certainly too good for you as a player too. Check his appearance record and you’ll understand he’s far from injury-prone, in fact, quite the opposite.
