Newcastle United are interested in Palace wide man Wilfried Zaha, according to reports.

The teenager, who has also been linked with Liverpool and Stoke, drew plaudits for his performance against Manchester United in Carling Cup action earlier this week after he had a hand in the Eagles' opening goal.

Newcastle are now preparing a £3m offer as Alan Pardew bids to bring the Selhurst Park sensation to the Sports Direct Arena, according to The People.

Palace boss Dougie Freedman will be eager to hold on to Zaha, but could face a fight to keep him should an official offer be made.
