Wilfried Zaha has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea (Getty Images)

Jamie Carragher believes Frank Lampard should avoid signing Wilfried Zaha for Chelsea.

The Crystal Palace forward has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window, while Chelsea are now able to sign players after their ban was reduced.

But Carragher feels Chelsea should prioritise strengthening other areas of the team in the upcoming window.

And the former Liverpool defender also believes Zaha’s arrival would halt the progress of Callum Hudson-Odoi.


‘No, I’m not really sure about that one,’ Carragher told Sky Sports Christmas.

Zaha’s arrival at Chelsea would block Callum Hudson-Odoi’s progression, according to Jamie Carragher (Getty)

‘I think Chelsea have more than enough in wide positions.



‘They’ve got Hudson-Odoi, [Christian] Pulisic is there as well.

‘I know they’ve still got a couple of older players in as well like Willian.

‘Sometimes they can also play Mason Mount from the side.

‘I think it would block Hudson-Odoi if Zaha came in as well.

‘I don’t really think they need that type of player.’
