Wilfried Zaha Makes Surprise Loan Move To MLS Side After Disappointing Spell In Europe<\/a> – originally posted on Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Wilfried Zaha Completes Surprise Loan Move To MLS Side<\/h2>\n

The Ivory Coast international will join Charlotte FC from Galatasaray on loan, in a deal that is set to last until January 2026.<\/p>\n

A key part of this move was Charlotte FC’s manager, Dean Smith, who will be a familiar face for Zaha with the two both being in the Premier League at similar times.<\/p>\n

Zaha’s career has failed to progress since leaving the Premier League in July 2023, failing to impress in Turkey and underwhelming during his loan move to Lyon this season.<\/p>\n

In fact, the former Crystal Palace player has not made a competitive appearance since December 7th and made just one start for Lyon in the 2024\/25 campaign.<\/p>\n

The structure of Zaha’s signing means he will take up a ‘Designated Player’ spot and international roster place, which allows teams in the MLS to have three players that would go over the salary cap limit.<\/p>\n

This deal will be sending huge excitement across Charlotte, as signing a player of this calibre is huge and the Franchise’s General Manager, Zoran Krneta, spoke about adding Zaha to the side.<\/p>\n

He said: “Wilfred is a world class talent who has proven himself at the highest level of the sport as an elite goal scorer and chance creator.<\/em><\/p>\n

“His performances in the Premier League and on the international level speak for themselves and we are confident that Wilfred can make an immediate impact in Major League Soccer.<\/em><\/p>\n

“He provides valuable versatility in the attacking areas of the pitch and adds that little bit of magic to our front line that can help us win more games.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We are delighted to add a player of Wilfred’s pedigree and experience to our squad, and we’re excited to welcome him to Charlotte.”<\/em><\/p>\n

During his time in England, Zaha played for Crystal Palace and Manchester United, coming through the ranks a Palace before spending an underwhelming season in Manchester and returning to Palace.<\/p>\n

Contributing to 142 goals in 458 matches (90G+52A), Zaha left Crystal Palace as one of their best ever players and is still their leading scorer in the Premier League.y<\/p>\n
