Zaha to Galatasaray? Are all the big clubs on the planet asleep?
He even turned down a 4-year offer from Palace, opting for a 3-year Galatasaray offer.
The expectation is that someone of Zaha’s quality should attract some serious interest from one or more of the elite clubs on the planet.
Congrats to Galatasaray. This is really good business!
