Crystal Palace Winger Wilfried Zaha has told his team-mates that he wants to leave the club in favour of a move to Chelsea, according to reports.
The winger has been linked with a move away from the Eagles since the start of summer window, with speculation over a move to Tottenham Hotspur before Chelsea also joined the race.
Last summer, Zaha almost joined Everton before he changes his mind and wanted to remain in London.
Reports in The Mirror have it that the 25-year-old has now told his close pals about his desire to join Chelsea. But Palace will not allow the player to leave unless a massive offer comes in before the end of the window.
Crystal Palace have also tried to fend off interest from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur by offering Zaha a new improved contract worth, £120,000 per week.
The player was an instrumental figure at the Selhurst Park last season, as they fought to remain in the Premier League, scoring nine goals and five assists in the process.
The arrival of Zaha at the Stamford Bridge could well mean that Chelsea are resigned to the idea of losing Willian to Barcelona, while Dembele joins Arsenal.
The Blues are also believed to be fighting hard to keep Eden Hazard, who has been courted by Real Madrid for the most part of the window.
