Napoli to bid big for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha

Napoli are ready to bid big for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

Napoli are set to launch a £60 million bid for Zaha as they step up their pursuit of a big-money winger, says the Daily Mail.

The Serie A side had targeted Zaha's Ivory Coast team-mate Nicolas Pepe but failed to land the 24-year-old, who has agreed a move to Arsenal.

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti has now turned his attentions to Zaha, 26, who is open to a move abroad.

Arsenal's capture of Pepe has denied Zaha the chance of a dream move to his boyhood club, who had a £40m bid rejected by Palace.

Zaha has told Palace he wants to leave Selhurst Park this summer and also outlined his ambitions to play Champions League at the end of last season, something Napoli can offer after finishing second in Serie A.
