West Brom Albion In Pole Position To Sign Wilfried Zaha On Loan

Latest reports have it that West Brom Albion are in the lead to land Manchester United player Wilfried Zaha on loan for the rest of the season. 

Wilfried Zaha signed for United in January 2013 but only joined the rest of his Manchester United team mates last summer. The player has found himself outside of David Moyes’ plans for most part of the season making just one solitary appearance which came in Capital One Cup.

Rumours had it that his ordeal is not unrelated with the alleged affair between the player and  Lauren Moyes, daughter of David Moyes. But that rumour has long been dismissed by the player himself.

“I’ve never dated or even met David Moyes’s Daughter so that isn’t the reason for my absence in games.”

“I would like to stop all these false accusations. I will play for Manchester United when my

manager feels I’m ready”  Zaha said via Tweeter on Friday according to daily mail.

David Moyes had explained that Zaha needed more time to get familiar with what it takes to be a Premiership player. The 21 year old English international was according to reports told he was free to leave United for the rest of the season so as to be able to garner more first team appearances which would greatly boost his development.

Everton, Fulham and Stokes were all reported to be interested in signing the winger on loan but according to the latest reports, West Brom are said to be the favourites to get the player. The Baggies case is reportedly helped by Zaha’s preference for them.

And should he go to West Brom, he will surely be in good hands as Steve Clarke is reputed to be able to get the best out of young talents and that is one reason the player is considering going over to the club. Crystal Palace too are also said to be in contention for the player’s signature.

To me, it doesn’t matter which of the interested clubs end up signing the player. What matters is if the club he joins will play him regularly so the player can develop. No point sending him to a club where he will have no chance of regular first team football.
