Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha had the chance to join Arsenal and Everton, says former teammate Darren Ambrose.
Zaha will finish his contract at the end of the season, where he could finally end a long spell at Crystal Palace. The 30-year-old left the club to join Manchester United many years ago, but it wasn’t long before he returned to Palace.
Whether he signs a new deal remains to be seen, but Zaha has turned down multiple opportunities to leave Crystal Palace.
Former teammate Ambrose has confirmed that he had the opportunity to join both Everton and Arsenal.

“I think he can play for anyone and not make it worse. It almost happened a while ago with Arsenal and Everton came along,” Ambrose said of Zaha, speaking on Stadium Astro.
Zaha could be running out of time to try to advance her career and try to win trophies. Zaha has remained loyal to Crystal Palace for most of his career, but he may live to regret that decision once he retires if he hasn’t given another challenge another chance.
It didn’t work out for him at Manchester United, but he has grown and matured since then, so it would be interesting to see how he fared at another big club.
