Wilfried Zaha close to Lyon loan move after falling out of favour at Galatasaray
Ligue 1 club set to cover the majority of Zaha’s wagesLyon owner John Textor believed to have assisted deal
Wilfried Zaha is close to joining Lyon on a season-long loan from Galatasaray, with the French club set to cover most of the former Crystal Palace forward’s salary.
It is understood a deal for the Ivory Coast international to move to Ligue 1 has been agreed after Lyon’s owner, John Textor, spoke to Zaha this week. The American businessman, who is also the biggest shareholder at Palace but is looking to sell his 45% stake to allow a potential takeover of Everton, is believed to have played a key role in negotiations with Galatasaray.
