Chelsea transfer news: Blues ‘will target Crystal Palace duo Wilfried Zaha and Aaron Wan-Bissaka’ if transfer ban is overturned
Chelsea will try to sign Crystal Palace duo Wilfried Zaha and Aaron Wan-Bissaka if their transfer ban is overturned, former Blues striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes.The Stamford Bridge club have been hit with a two-window transfer ban which they are expected to appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), hoping to get it overturned.Getty Images - Getty3

Wan-Bissaka is one of the most highly-rated young players in European football

Even if CAS accept the punishment, there is a good chance the ban will be delayed until the case is heard, meaning Chelsea will have the summer window to complete signings.And, with Eden Hazard looking all but certain to leave the Blues, it is expected to be a busy summer for the west Londoners with numerous incoming signings and some serious cash spent.Maurizio Sarri will have to bring in a replacement for Hazard, while he is also said to want a new centre-forward following Gonzalo Higuain’s poor loan spell, and there have been other links with new defenders. And Hasselbaink, who starred for Chelsea between 2000 and 2004, believes Zaha and Wan-Bissaka – two very in-demand players – will be two targets on Sarri’s summer shortlist.If Chelsea dont have a transfer ban, I think they will target two Crystal Palace players,” said Hasselbaink to your-promotional-code.co.uk. “Firstly, Aaron Wan-Bissaka can push Cesar Azpilicueta for a starting place and will learn a lot from him. Hes a very good right back, and can defend very well.“And then Wilfried Zaha brings the excitement. If Eden Hazard goes, you need somebody to take players on. Yes, they have Callum Hudson-Odoi but any good side needs four wide players, especially if something happens to Pedro or Willian.Getty Images - Getty3

Zaha has been linked with big-money summer moves to Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United

“I think it will be difficult for Crystal Palace to keep them, with all due respect.“If theyre going to go, I think its best for them to stay in London. Zaha had a difficult move to Manchester United that didnt work out so I think itd be good for him to stay in London.”Sarri may not be the man overseeing Chelsea’s summer transfer business, however, if reports are to be believed.It has been recently claimed Sarri will be dismissed from his post after next week’s Europa League final, with Frank Lampard understood to be Chelsea’s prime target to replace him.Getty3

Lampard is reportedly the leading contender to become Chelsea’s new manager

If Chelsea get a transfer ban, I can see why theyd go for Frank Lampard,” Hasselbaink continued. “But lets not forget theres a manager in place at the moment who hasnt had a bad year.“Its been difficult, but not bad.
