Pep Guardiola sees the Ivory Coast international as an alternative in case he is unable to bring in Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean contract rebel nearly joined during the summer but the move fell through after Arsenal were unable to finalise a deal for Monaco winger Thomas Lemar.

But they’re not his only admirer and PSG could tempt him to join their exciting project, so Guardiola is eyeing Zaha as his plan B.
However Palace might be reluctant to sell, Zaha only signed a new five-year deal in May so it’s unlikely they will even consider the offer in January, particularly with their Premier League status hanging in the balance.
