Crystal Palace legend John Salako says Chelsea could buy Wilfried Zaha if they send Olivier Giroud to Selhurst Park.

The Blues are being linked with a big money move for Zaha now that they are able to purchase players in the January window.

And Salako thinks they could get the deal done by adding Giroud as a sweetener.

He told Love Sport Radio: "I honestly don't think Wilf will go to Chelsea.

"[Callum] Hudson-Odoi has come back, and I don't think they'll want to hinder his development. But Willian and Pedro are getting on a bit, and maybe they'll want someone to add to that.

"They could do a great little swap, though. Palace have got their eyes on Giroud, and that would be fantastic - Giroud plus money!

"If Palace get the right offer, they could be tempted.

"Wilfred definitely has the ability [for Chelsea], and no Palace fan can begrudge him if he wants that move."
