Wilfried Zaha has revealed that the opportunity to test himself in the Champions League was a major factor behind his decision to join Galatasaray.

Zaha has spent the majority of his career at Crystal Palace, taking in various spells at the club, but he is now ready for a fresh challenge after joining Galatasaray as a free agent and signing a three-year contract.

The 30-year-old had attracted interest from Saudi Arabian clubs as well as Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli, Lazio and Fenerbahce.

However, he elected to sign for Galatasaray and is looking forward to the season ahead.
