Wilfried Zaha is set to leave Crystal Palace when his contract expires at the end of the season.
According to talkSPORT, the Ivorian will not renew his contract in London and will be free to join a new club for free, having rejected multiple contract offers.
Despite struggling with injuries, the 30-year-old has scored six goals and provided three assists in 20 games this season. He will have no shortage of suitors if he decides on a new adventure, with Arsenal and Chelsea the top two suitors for his services. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia are also thought to be in the picture if he decides to go abroad.

According to talkSPORT’s chief football correspondent Alex Crook, the winger is admired by both Mikel Arteta and Chelsea.
Speaking on Drive, Crook said: “It seems that Wilf Zaha’s stellar career at Crystal Palace could be coming to an end.
“His contract is up at the end of the season – no imminent sign that he is willing to extend.
“And if he is to go and achieve his ambitions of playing for a top club, it’s now or never really isn’t it?
“When you look at his age, the fact that he’s available as a free agent, he either commits his future to Crystal Palace and then probably sees out his top-flight career there.
“Or he goes off and tests himself, I think there will be suitors, I know Mikel Arteta is a fan, I know that Chelsea have certainly taken a look at him in the past as well.
“And I think there are big clubs in Europe who would be interested in a player of Wilf Zaha’s quality.”
