Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City have been dealt a major blow in their plans to sign Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha this month. According to Sun Sport, Zaha has revealed that he would not be leaving Crystal Palace this month. The winger has been in blistering form this season, and his performances for the Eagles has seen him linked with a host of top clubs who believe he is ready for the big time once again. The Ivorian had a torrid time when he played for Manchester United in the 2013/2014 season. David Moyes did not trust the young winger at the time and he left Old Trafford after just one season. But his form this season at the age of 25 has encouraged the top six sides to take notice. His manager Roy Hogson had told reporters that he was expecting bids for the winger this month, but went on to issue a hands off warning, claiming they would not be entertaining any bids. Zaha seem to have reechoed Hogson’s stance and that would have delighted the club’s fans as they are currently battling relegation in 17th position. When asked if he would remain with Palace beyond this season, the winger answered: “Yep, I am”

Manchester United have been dealt a major blow in their quest to sign Alex Grimaldo. The Red Devils have been tracking the former Barcelona youngster in their quest to sign a new left back, but may have lost out to SS Napoli. According to reports in Portugal and Italy, the Italian Serie A leaders have stolen a match on United and have agreed to sign Grimaldo for £27 million. The Sun claims the Italians are currently negotiating personal terms with the 22 years old. If he does join Napoli, it would be a major blow to Manchester United who are still in the hunt for a long term solution to their problematic left back, and that would force them to intensify their efforts to sign Tottenham’s Danny Rose. Jose Mourinho has had to use Ashley Young as a makeshift left back this season due to the continued absence of Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo. The Portuguese manager has reportedly given up on Luke Shaw, and although the England international has found his way back into the United’s first team in recent weeks, the Portuguese manager is still not a fan.
