Chelsea to Rival Arsenal & Everton in Pursuit of Wilfried Zaha Despite Transfer Ban

Chelsea have emerged as the latest Premier League club eyeing a deal for ambitious Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, despite the 2018/19 Europa League winners currently serving a transfer ban.

Palace's standout player, Zaha is keen to take the next step in his career. Arsenal have already had a £40m bid rejected for the 26-year-old, while Everton emerged as a suitor just this week after talk of a potential club record bid to take the player to Goodison Park.

As a punishment for beaching transfer regulations relating to international minors, Chelsea are banned by FIFA from registering new players until next summer.
