According to UK betting sites, Chelsea are leading the race to sign Crystal Palace star, Wilfried Zaha, despite the Eagles offering a renewed deal.
Crystal Palace have been in fine form since Roy Hodgson took over from Patrick Vieira, the Premier League veteran has not lost a match since his return – picking up 10 points from a possible 12.
This terrific streak has been without their star man, Wilfried Zaha, who suffered a groin injury against Leicester in Hodgson’s opening match.
The Ivorian has been the Eagles’ talisman since returning to the club in 2015, contributing to 165 goals in 455 matches. However, his relationship with the Palace manager has been notoriously rocky, going back to Hodgson’s first spell as Palace manager in 2017.
This, alongside the 29-year-old’s running contract issues, has caused a host of transfer rumours to circulate, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG being linked with the tricky winger.
🚨 Crystal Palace have offered Wilfried Zaha a new four-year contract worth about £200,000-a-week.
Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich, Roma and Marseille are all reportedly interested and the 30-year old winger wants assurances of Palace's ambitions before signing.

UK betting sites have priced Chelsea as favourites, with the Blues’ recent transfer business accumulating to over £500m – a Premier League record.
Chelsea are having a disastrous season and may be looking to tweak a couple of issues in their squad for next season. The re-appointment of Frank Lampard has not gone to plan and the Blues sit in 11th place, with the former Derby County manager yet to win a match.
It is unclear whether or not Zaha will leave his boyhood club at the end of the season, as the Eagles are reportedly willing to offer a huge contract to keep him at the club.

Chelsea @ 4/1
Any Saudi Arabian side @ 5/1
Arsenal @ 5/1
Aston Villa @ 8/1
Spurs @ 8/1
Newcastle @ 9/1
