Lampard puts Crystal Palace star Zaha at top of Chelsea shopping list

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has put Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha at the top of his January shopping list.

The Mirror says Lampard is set to move for Zaha next month to beef up Chelsea's attack - despite reaching the Champions League knockout stages.

Zaha made clear during the summer he is desperate to leave Crystal Palace for a big club.

Chelsea also have an interest in Dortmund's England star Jadon Sancho but the German club is unlikely to allow him to leave in January.

After victory over Lille last night, Lampard said: “As you get to the cut-throat stages of this competition you can't afford to be missing some of the chances we missed in the group stages.

“With Eden Hazard leaving we lost a lot of goals and creation in his position. I think we can probably strengthen and get more competition in those areas."
