London, England: Former Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha is reportedly open to a Premier League return after just one year with Turkish side Galatasaray.

Zaha moved to Galatasaray on a free transfer in the summer of 2023 after rejecting a lucrative contract extension offer from his previous club, Crystal Palace. He has featured in 31 games across all competitions for the Turkish club, contributing 10 goals and 5 assists.

According to talkSPORT, the 31-year-old could consider offers from the Premier League after completing his first year with Galatasaray. English clubs, including West Ham and Aston Villa, were reportedly interested in signing him in January, but Zaha opted to stay in Turkey.

Zaha recently turned down a significant offer from Crystal Palace, which would have made him their highest-paid player. His current focus remains with Galatasaray, with their next match scheduled for Sunday against Ankaragucu.

Despite reports linking Zaha with an exit he is happy at Galatasaray and has rejected all previous reports linking him with a transfer.

The 30-year-old is a key player at the Lions who are currently first in the Super Lig and competing in the Europa League. Zaha competed in the Champions League group stage this term and it is likely Galatasaray will book a place in the competition next season as well.

Zaha is on course to winning silverware in his first season with the Turkish giants as they are competing for trophies in three competitions.
