Chelsea have submitted an offer of £30 million plus Danny Drinkwater to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, according to reports.

Zaha was Palace’s standout star last season with nine goals and five assists in 29 appearances.

Tottenham have wanted to sign the 25-year-old for the past two years but have never been able to agree a deal with Palace.

And according to The Sun, Chelsea have now entered the race by submitting a bid to sign the Ivory Coast international.


But the report claims that Chelsea’s offer of £30m plus Drinkwater has already been rejected by Palace.

Drinkwater was signed for £35m from Leicester City last summer but failed to make an impact during his first season at Chelsea.



And the midfielder is unlikely to be a regular under Maurizio Sarri this term.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have not given up hope of signing Zaha before the window closes next Thursday.

The winger is Maurizio Pochettino’s priority target and Spurs are prepared to offer £45m to Palace, as well as a significant sell-on clause.

Tottenham have yet to sign anyone this summer but are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish.
