Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha has drawn interest from Borussia Dortmund, Sport Bild reports.





The Bundesliga leaders are looking to sign a replacement for the Chelsea-bound Christian Pulisic this summer and has identified the 26-year-old as an option alongside Borussia Mönchengladbach's Thorgan Hazard.



According to Sport Bild, there have already been talks between the parties.



Dortmund were already interested in Zaha last summer, but were scared off as Crystal Palace demanded €50 million for him.



However, after selling Pulisic for €64 million, Dortmund have reignited their interest in the 26-year-old.



Zaha can play both on the wing and as a striker. This season, the Ivorian international has made 21 appearances for Crystal Palace with three goals and four assists to his name. He's under contract until 2023.





Borussia Mönchengladbach's Denis Zakaria is another name that has attracted Dortmund's interest, Sport Bild reports.



Apparently, the BVB are interested in signing the 22-year-old if Julian Weigl leaves the club.



However, the Swiss international may be expensive as Gladbach boss Max Eberl slapped a €50 million price tag on him last summer. His contract runs until 2022.
