Jürgen Klopp has turned his attention to a striker who was once sacked by United for misbehaviour

The Ivorian winger is one of the best players in the Premier League in recent years, being a key player for Crystal Palace to stay in the English top flight for a long time. Liverpool are working on planning their squad for next season with the intention of remaining one of the best teams in the Premier League and in European football. And they have a clear target to boost their offensive rotation: Wilfried Zaha.

According to Italian newspaper Calcio Mercato, Liverpool are interested in acquiring the services of Wilfried Zaha in the next summer transfer window, taking advantage of the fact that the player's contract with Crystal Palace expires in the summer. The Reds are in search of more attacking variants to offer Jürgen Klopp more variety, given the unknown fate of Roberto Firmino (contract expires in the summer) and the underperformance of several players in recent weeks.

The Ivorian winger is one of the best players in the Premier League in recent years, being a capital piece for Crystal Palace to stay for a long time in the English top flight. He has 5 goals and an assist in 9 games played at the start of the season, being the main offensive reference for Patrick Vieira's team. Zaha stands out for playing on the left flank, where the Reds do not have a player to rotate with Luis Diaz.

Wilfried Zaha would be interested in a move to Liverpool this summer if Klopp wanted him, with the winger 'greatly relishing' the opportunity to play for the Reds. The 29-year-old will be out of contract with Crystal Palace in the summer. Zaha has been one of the key names in the transfer window for a number of seasons, and the Ivorian, who has remained at Crystal Palace, has been a regular for a number of clubs for several years. However, he has not moved, which could change during the upcoming winter transfer window. Zaha is a very capable winger, with great pace and a great influence in attack thanks to his power and his talent for overflow.

Raised in England, Zaha joined Crystal Palace's youth teams and moved up to the first team in 2012, making his Premier League debut. By 2013 he was transferred to Manchester United, but his stay was short-lived as he fell out with then manager David Moyes. According to different media, the striker had a love affair with the manager's daughter which led to him being sacked. He returned to Crystal Palace and became one of the best players in the league.
