Wilfried Zaha Back in Galatasaray Training Amid Premier League Move Uncertainty

Wilfried Zaha has resumed training with Galatasaray as negotiations for a potential loan move to Leicester City and interest from his former club Crystal Palace have yet to materialize. The 31-year-old winger, who joined Galatasaray as a free agent last summer, has seen his playing time diminish, prompting both clubs to explore a return to the Premier League. However, complications regarding tax liabilities associated with a transfer from Turkey may hinder Zaha's move back to England. Zaha's recent performances have raised eyebrows, as he was a second-half substitute in Galatasaray's Turkish Super Cup loss to Besiktas and did not feature in their opening Super Lig match against Hatayspor. Since joining Galatasaray, he has made 42 appearances, with only half being starts, which has led to increased interest from clubs in the Premier League. His departure from Crystal Palace in June 2023 marked the end of a significant chapter in his career, where he scored 90 goals and provided 62 assists in 458 games. Leicester City, having secured promotion back to the Premier League, is keen to bolster their squad ahead of the new season. The club has already made five signings, including Bobby De Cordova Reid and Michael Golding. They are set to kick off their Premier League campaign against Tottenham Hotspur on August 19, while Crystal Palace will face Brentford the day before. The outcome of Zaha's situation remains to be seen as the transfer window progresses.
