WILFRIED ZAHA is reportedly being lined up for a move to Roma after more than two months unemployed.
The former Crystal Palace and Manchester United winger, 33, has been using the Eagles’ facilities to stay sharp this summer after his Galatasaray contract expired.

But Palace showed no interest in negotiating a longer-term arrangement.
As a free agent, Zaha can still find a club even with the English transfer window closing on Tuesday.
And as one of the more accomplished unattached players on the market, it is no surprise that he has options.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma are evaluating a move for Zaha after failing to sign a left-winger for manager Gian Piero Gasperini during the window.

The Italian wants an inverted attacker to play on the left side and Zaha fits his desired profile.
Plus, he was heavily linked with the Giallorossi before heading to Galatasaray in 2023.
The experienced Krepin Diatta is also said to be under consideration following a five-year spell at Monaco.
But Zaha looks to be the standout candidate, having scored 90 goals in 458 games for Palace and spent time at Old Trafford.

Zaha only had one season as a Galatasaray first-teamer before he was shipped out on loan to Lyon and then Charlotte FC.
He made his England debut just after turning 20 but only appeared in two friendlies, and was then overlooked for the next three years.
In 2016, Zaha stuck it to the Three Lions by switching his international allegiance to Ivory Coast – the country of his birth.
And the FA may have regretted that call when Zaha began to hit form for Palace over the proceeding few seasons.
