Liverpool Joined By Manchester City In Race For Crystal Palace Starlet

Liverpool have reportedly been joined by Manchester City in the race for Crystal Palace youngster Wilfried Zaha.

The 18-year-old forward has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move away from Selhurst Park with Liverpool the club consistently suggested as a possible destination.

Stoke and Fulham were both reported to have made unsuccessful approaches in the summer but, according to the Daily Star, City have now registered their interest.

With the Zaha in such demand, and considering he signed a new contract tying him to Palace until 2015, the Championship club are not under any immediate pressure to sell.

However, Palace are reportedly resigned to the fact that they face a struggle to hold onto their prized asset and will listen to offers next summer.
