Manchester City swoop for Wilfried Zaha?

Manchester City have reportedly contacted Crystal Palace in an effort to secure the services of starlet Wilfried Zaha.

The Premier League champions have offered an initial £12m fee with £3m in add-ons based on trophies and performances, according to The Sun.

City are also thought to be willing to let Zaha stay at Selhust Park for the rest of this season as Ian Holloway's side chase promotion from the Championship.

Zaha has been in sparkling form for Palace this season, with his eye-catching displays earning the youngster a place in Roy Hodgson's England squad for last week's friendly against Sweden.

The 20-year-old is one of the hottest properties in English football but has more than two years left to run on his contract in South London.
