      The Ivory Coast international will be free to leave Crystal Palace when his contract expires in two weeks.
      According to The Daily Mail, his preference would be to join PSG who plan to target the winger if their move for Borussia Monchengladbach forward Marcus Thuram falls through.
      PSG were looking at Thuram, 25, in the wake of Lionel Messi leaving the club and the potential sale of Neymar.
      The Paris club were hoping that bringing in a number nine like Thuram would enable them to get the best out of Kylian Mbappe who prefers to operate off the left.

      However they were yesterday rocked by the news that Mbappe will not renew his contract – and may be forced to sell the French forward this summer.
      Zaha is also attracting interest from Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid and it is believed their Champions League status means he would favour Atletico over a Saudi payday.
      This is despite the offer being made by Al Nassr being described as “generational wealth”.
      Palace have not given up hope that their talisman will extend his stay at Selhurst Park however and have tabled a four year contract offer of £200,000-per-week.

      However if an elite European club makes a concrete offer he would accept an inferior wage to secure the move. More

      Although less likely to move than some others, Phillips could leave Manchester City after a difficult first season with the club.
      Phillips made just two Premier League starts for City and is on West Ham’s shortlist to replace Rice in midfield.

      Mount is expected to leave Stamford Bridge after failing to agree a new deal as he enters the final year of his current contract.
      United are understood to be the frontrunners to land the England star as they remain in talks over a move.

      Despite United edging closer to signing Mount, Carragher believes one of his England team-mates is a “better fit” for the club.

      Carragher has called on Erik ten Hag to sign West Ham United captain Declan Rice instead.
      He told Metro.co.uk: “Mason Mount is an upgrade on Christian Eriksen in terms of where he plays.
      “But going back to Declan Rice, United are one of the few teams at the top who don’t play 4-3-3, it’s usually two midfielders with Bruno Fernandes.
      “Declan Rice and Mason Mount, they are very different players and it shouldn’t be one or the other but when you look at what Manchester United have got right now, I actually think Declan Rice would be a better fit for them. A lot more expensive of course.

      “I do think he (Mount) is a good player and I like him, I wanted Liverpool to get him. Lots of coaches have picked him and like him. 
      “There is already a good player in there but Declan Rice would suit United more than Mason Mount in terms of how they set up.”
      Rice is also expected to change clubs this summer, with the Hammers anticipating bids following their Europa Conference League triumph.
      United are one of a number of clubs who have been linked with the 24-year-old, but Arsenal seem his most likely destination.
      The Three Lions star is said to have his heart set on the Gunners as they chase a £100million deal to sign him.

      Mount is expected to leave the Blues after 18 years after failing to agree terms on a new contract.

      Speaking to Betfred, he explained: “I am shocked that it looks as if Mason’s heading to Old Trafford.
      “I don’t believe that Manchester United needs Mason and I believe that it’s a weird move for the player as well. Manchester United is obviously a huge club, but they’re not nailed on to win anything.
      “I believe that Chelsea need to keep him and it would be strange to see them allow Mason to make the move to Manchester United.
      “If he was to leave Chelsea for another Premier League club, then I believe Liverpool would have suited him better.”

      Liverpool have been linked with Mount in recent weeks but are thought to have admitted defeat in the race to sign him.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side are reportedly now eyeing a deal to sign James Ward-Prowse from relegated Southampton as they continue their midfield overhaul.
      Mount endured a stop-start 2022/23 season due to injuries, with a pelvis issue sidelining him for much of the second half of the campaign.
      Despite that, United would welcome a player with 33 goals and 37 assists in 195 Chelsea appearances if they can complete the signing.

      Chelsea fans praise Mykhailo Mudryk with £88m transfer flop ready to make drastic career decision

      by

      CHELSEA fans have praised £88million transfer-flop Mykhailo Mudryk for his decision to play for Ukraine’s Under-21 side this summer.The Blues won the race to sign the highly-rated youngster in January despite long-term interest in him from rivals’ Arsenal.
      Mudryk largely found himself as a substitute last seasonCredit: Getty
      His time in West London has not gone to plan however, with the winger not registering a goal in his 15 Premier League appearances and contributing just two assists.
      The Telegraph report that Mudryk will make himself available for his country’s U21s European Championship side this summer in a bid to rediscover his form – which has impressed incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino.
      Mudryk is currently with the Ukraine senior squad as they prepare for their own European Championship qualifiers against North Macedonia on Friday night and against Malta next week.
      He started for Ukraine in their friendly against Germany yesterday which ended in a 3-3 draw.

      Despite turning 22 in January, the winger is eligible to play for Ukraine in the U21 championship – which starts next Wednesday and is being held in Georgia and Romania – as he was 21 when the season started.
      Chelsea will not stand in the winger’s way if he wants to play in the tournament given the limited minutes he has featured in since joining the club.

      He completed just one 90 minute game in the league this season.
      It is understood that Mudryk would like to maximise the minutes he plays this summer in a bid to find rhythm ahead of the upcoming 2023-24 season.

      And Chelsea fans have reacted positively to the news that Mudryk will play for his U21s.
      One fan said: “Mentality not to give up”
      Another said: “Keep fighting young man, eventually it will pay off!”
      While a third added: “Good lad. He needs to rebuild that confidence for sure”
      Ukraine’s U21s find themselves in Group B for the tournament in Georgia and Romania – the group includes Spain and Croatia as well as co-hosts Romania.
      If the winger is called up to the U21s he will no doubt be one of the star attractions at the tournament.
      England are in Group C and will play rivals’ Germany as well as the Czech Republic and Israel.
      A number of Premier League stars are part of England’s provisional squad, including: Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe, Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, Noni Madueke, Levi Colwill and Lewis Hall as well as Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp.
      England’s final squad will be announced tomorrow. More
