The Istanbul giants do not play to sell Zaha and underlined that the player is also happy at the club and determined to win silverware.

Unai Emery, the Villa boss, is a known admirer of Zaha, having unsuccessfully attempted to sign him while at Arsenal.

Villa have done business with Galatasaray recently, signing Nicolo Zaniolo on loan with an option to buy so they do have good ties with the club.

Zaha’s pedigree is undeniable. He tore up the Premier League for eight years with Palace, racking up an impressive 166 goal contributions in 458 appearances. While thriving in Turkey with Galatasaray, the 31-year-old remains a tempting proposition for European clubs.

However, luring Zaha away from Istanbul won’t be a walk in the park.

He settled quickly, cZaha has seven goals and three assists in 22 appearances in all competitions this season., and enjoys life at Galatasaray with a contract running until 2026.

Zaha will not be joining the Ivory Coast for AFCON so he will be available over January and February.

Galatasaray are currently locked in the title race with rivals Fenerbahce, still in contention for the Turkish Cup and competing in the Europa League.
