The Pitch Prospect understands that Wilfried Zaha is keen to return to the Premier League.
Leicester are currently exploring the possibility of loaning Zaha from Galatasaray.

The Ivorian’s former club, Crystal Palace, has also held talks with Zaha’s representatives.
The 31-year-old left Selhurst Park on a free transfer last summer and went to Turkey.
He scored ten goals in 42 games in all competitions for the Süper Lig club but would like to return.
Zaha played 458 times for Palace during his two tenures and is undoubtedly their greatest Premier League player of all time.
Last summer, the Ivorian played in the Champions League and faced his former club Manchester United.
Palace lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich this summer and Eberechi Eze is still being talked about as an alternative player.
Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan would not mind a return.
He told The Pitch Prospect: “I think he was a wonderful player. I don’t care what anyone else thinks about him.”
“He had more talent than most players I’ve seen and he could have achieved bigger and better things than Palace.
“He was a top four footballer, he could have played for Real Madrid and it’s not just me saying that, other people have said that too and wondered how was he doing at Crystal Palace? Well, he was.

“The move to Man United didn’t help him, he was [Sir Alex] Ferguson’s last signing, then came the move to David Moyes. Perhaps cultural unpreparedness and not being prepared for the size and opportunities at Manchester United came at the wrong time for him, among other reasons.
“He was undoubtedly successful at Palace and I think for him returning to Palace might be a second home.”
