Leicester City are on the brink of securing a season-long loan deal for former Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha from Galatasaray according to David Ornstein in The Athletic.

The Foxes have been actively seeking attacking reinforcements and believe Zaha’s experience and talent can significantly bolster their squad.

The Ivory Coast international has struggled for regular playing time in Turkey, making him an attractive option for Leicester.

While Crystal Palace were also keen on re-signing their former talisman, it appears Leicester have won the race for Zaha’s signature.

The deal would represent a major coup for the Foxes as they aim to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

The potential arrival of Zaha would add a significant boost to Leicester’s attacking options and increase their chances of securing promotion.

The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, subject to medicals and personal terms.

Zaha played a role in Galatasaray lifting the league title last season and was part of the Champions League campaign that saw the Turkish giants take four points from Manchester United in the group stage.

The 31-year-old is under contract until 2026 and scored 10 times and provided five assists in 43 appearances in all competitions last season.
