Manchester City will join the race to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, according to The Sun.

City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly wants to boost his wide attacking options and has targeted Zaha, though the newly-crowned Premier League champions will have to cough up £50million and see off competition from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Chelsea.

The Ivory Coast attacker has been in superb form for Crystal Palace this season and is key to their hopes of avoiding relegation from the top flight.

Yet whether the Eagles survive or not, Zaha is still expected to be the subject of a big-money bid in the European summer.

The 25-year-old previously had an unhappy spell at Manchester United, where he struggled to live up to expectations, but it is believed he is now mature enough to handle a second chance at a ‘big’ club.
