Zaha has told The Eagles that he wants to depart Selhurst Park for a second time because he wants to play in the Champions League and they are ready to cash in on him.

Tottenham are long-term suitors of former England international Zaha who has since switched his allegiances back to the Ivory Coast but cannot compete with PSG.

He is the highest paid player at Palace earning around £130,000 a week and PSG are ready to offer him a healthy pay rise to ensure that he moves to the French capital.

They have been keeping discreet tabs on him this season and have been impressed with scouting reports that they have been getting back.

Zaha, 26, shocked fans earlier this week when he revealed why his time at Manchester United wasn’t a success.

"It was the opportunity of a lifetime,” Zaha told the Mail.

"The chance to play for Manchester United. It was beyond anything I could have hoped for and I treated it that way.

"I tried my hardest in every training session to show what I could do.”

Zaha also revealed that he felt ‘belittled’ by David Moyes, and accused him of playing mind games.

"You see the mind games they were playing?” Zaha said after claiming that Moyes told him to cut out the ‘fancy footwork’.

"When he took me out of the Champions League squad and put in Adnan Januzaj, who had never played for the first team, I knew then that this is way bigger than I ever thought and had gone way beyond footballing reasons.

"When it was not about football or ability, what could I do?

"Not being given a fair opportunity to play at all and being called a flop is what hurt me even more. How can I be if I wasn't given a fair chance?'

"I see Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, these types of players, and dribbling wise I'm up there with them but they have been given the platform to perform.

"Every day I wanted to go on Twitter or Instagram and say something but I couldn't. That would be unprofessional.”

Next up for Zaha is a trip to Arsenal with Crystal Palace on Sunday.
