Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is one of the Premier League’s most dangerous players, says former midfielder Carlton Palmer.
Zaha has made a good start to the season under new manager Patrick Vieira, calmly dispatching two penalties in derbies against Tottenham and Brighton at Selhurst Park.
Heading into the game against the latter, Graham Potter labelled the 28-year-old as one of the most dangerous players in English football’s top division and it is a view shared by Palmer.
Is Zaha one of the PL's most dangerous?
Without a doubt!
No
Speaking exclusively to TIF about Zaha, the ex-Leeds United and Southampton star said:
“He is one of the most dangerous players in the Premier League, without a shadow of a doubt, and could grace any of the top clubs.
“If you’re saying to me would I pay 50, 60, £70m for him, Yes, 110%.”
Zaha is one of the best dribblers in the Premier League. Back in the 2019/20 season, he managed to average 4.3 dribbles per game, an average only Wolves’ Adama Traore (five) and Newcastle United’s Allan Saint-Maximin (4.7) could better (via WhoScored).
Undoubtedly, he is a dangerous player. Alongside the likes of new signings Odsonne Edouard and Conor Gallagher, the Ivory Coast international will be looking to cause more Premier League defences problems this season.
