Bengaluru, December 20: Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have joined Chelsea and Arsenal in the race to sign Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha, according to reports.

The former Manchester United winger has been one of the Premier League's star players this season after firing Crystal Palace off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone.

The Ivorian has been in great form since the last season and is now going close to his true potential which was expected from him when he moved to Manchester United as a teenager.

Manchester City are reportedly considering giving Zaha another crack at Champions League football after he flopped during less than two years at Old Trafford.

Under Roy Hodgson, he has seen a real upturn in form this term, proven with his goal in the Eagles' 3-0 win at Leicester over the weekend.

According to the Mirror, Manchester City have joined Chelsea and Arsenal in considering a move for the 25-year-old.

City reportedly view Zaha as an alternative to Alexis Sanchez who looks certain to leave Arsenal at the end of the season on a free transfer.

Chelsea have struggled attacking wise in recent weeks and Conte is also reportedly watching Zaha as he believes that the Ivorian offers something different from his wingers like Hazard, Pedro and Willian.

Zaha is also a target of both North London clubs Arsenal and Spurs.

Spurs have been interested in Zaha for quite some time now and failed attempts to sign the Ivorian last summer.

Meanwhile, Arsenal also want the 25-year-old as a potential replacement of Alexis Sanchez who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

During his time at Manchester United, he was loaned to Cardiff City and then back to Palace during the tenures of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.

The Ivorian will be eager to prove himself at a big club now.
