Chelsea are plotting a sensational plan to prise Wilfried Zaha away from Crystal Palace in January.

The Sun says the Blues will table an £80million bid for wantaway Zaha in January — if they succeed in overturning their transfer ban.

Crystal Palace star Zaha reluctantly agreed to stay at Selhurst Park on deadline day, but only until the winter window.

Palace have agreed to revisit Zaha's future in January — when other clubs will be desperate to add to their attacking prowess.

Everton are unlikely to come back in for him after landing Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi in a £38m deal last night.

Chelsea, who are convinced they can escape a transfer ban and start buying players again in the new year, will be alerted to Zaha's predicament.
