Ian Holloway made deadline day bid for Wilfried Zaha just in case
Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway has revealed he made a deadline day approach to sign Wilfried Zaha from Manchester United just in case there was a chance of a loan deal.
Zaha signed for United from the Eagles last January, but was loaned back to Palace for the remainder of the season and played a crucial part in Holloways men gaining promotion back to the Premier League.
But Holloway, who signed no fewer than 15 players during the summer transfer window, admits he made a last-ditch attempt to seal another loan deal for the highly-rated 20-year-old.
I have asked about a loan for Wilf but David [Moyes] will select him at the right time, said the Palace boss.
I asked about him in the last day of the transfer windowjust in case.
Zaha has made just one appearance for David Moyes side so far this season, playing the first 61 minutes of their 2-0 victory over Wigan in the Community Shield in August.
