A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to a tweet from NUFC 360, which has relayed news from the Daily Express about Wilfried Zaha.
However, the original story was from the Sun, and they claim the Toon have made Zaha a target and should be able to afford his £60m+ price tag and Zaha could be persuaded to move to Tyneside.
This report has drawn the attention of many Newcastle fans, and they don’t seem keen on Zaha.
Would you take Zaha at Newcastle?
Yes
No
Newcastle United have made a transfer enquiry about the availability of Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha. Newcastle should be able to afford Zaha's £60m price tag under new ownership, while also meeting the winger's wage demands. [Express] #NUFC

£60m ? no thanks

Please don’t be true. He’s awful. Spends more time tripping up and looking for non existent fouls than he does on his feet.

Overpriced by far, feel for that amount could get a lot more for less

What do we think?
This season the 27-year-old has scored three goals and provided five assists in the Premier League, which is better than both Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron in terms of goal contributions.
So, in terms of end product, he would probably be an upgrade on what they currently have.
If the Premier League approves the Toon’s proposed takeover by Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium then, according to this report, the Toon could afford him.
However, with the takeover ongoing, we feel it is pointless to discuss potential signings until there is an official announcement.
