If reports from certain section of the media are to be believed then Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have identified a potential replacement for their star forward Neymar Jr and he is none other than former Manchester United player Wilfried Zaha.
A report carried by Don Balon, a Spanish media outlet, states that PSG have been monitoring Zaha’s progress for quite some time now and that they were indeed very impressed with his performances for Crystal Palace in the 2018-19 season.
Notably, Zaha made as many as 36 appearances for his team in 2018-19 and finished the season with 10 goals and as many assists.

The Cote d’Ivoire international had joined the Premier League giants Manchester United from Palace team in 2013 but failed to live up to the expectations of his team and after making just four appearances for them was loaned out to Cardiff City and then went back to the Palace in 2015.
The 26-year-old striker has already played 328 matches for Palace and has scored 53 goals and registered another 65 assists. However, his only trophy came back when he was Manchester United as he lifted the English Super Cup with the Red Devils in 2014.
