Chelsea transfer news: Wilfried Zaha lined up by Antonio Conte for shock move after firing Crystal Palace clear of the relegation zone
WILFRIED ZAHA has emerged as a shock Chelsea transfer target, according to reports.
The former Manchester United dismantled the Blues earlier this season with a superb performance in a 2-1 win for their first three points of the season.
And under Roy Hodgson, he has seen a real upturn in form this term, proven with his goal in the Eagles' 3-0 win at Leicester over the weekend.
According to the Mirror, Chelsea have been wooed by the 25-year-old's excellent form for his club this term.
The Blues' attacking play has gone stale in recent weeks, with the likes of Eden Hazard and Pedro proving erratic at times as Antonio Conte's side have searched for an attacking spark.
And Zaha has also caught they eye of Tottenham and Arsenal - and Spurs showed firm interest until recently.
