The Eagles are also preparing to offer the ex-Manchester United flop a club record £120,000-a-week pay deal, according to .
But Zaha is likely to play a waiting game as Tottenham and other big clubs are likely to consider bidding for him in the summer
Zaha, 24, has switched allegiance from the Three Lions to Ivory Coast, despite please from England boss Gareth Southgate.
And he is making the type of powerful, pacy runs that persuaded United to sign him four years ago.
