Toon interested in Palace Striker

Newcastle United are said to be in talks with Crystal Palace regarding the signing of wonderkid Wilfried Zaha.

Palace dropped out of the Carling Cup last night, but 19 year old Zaha impressed the nation as the game was televised live on BBC.

Alan Pardew will be hoping he can lure the Ivory Coast-born winger to Tyneside, although he may face competition from Manchester United and Liverpool.

Earlier today, the Chronicle reported that talks between Newcastle United and Wilfried Zaha’s representatives are already under way.

With Palace still recovering from administration they may find it hard to turn down an impressive bid for their 2011 young player of the year.
