Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has told Talksport that Wilfried Zaha won't be returning on loan after Manchester United dismissed their offer.

Pulis is keen on bolstering his 25 man squad during the January transfer window, and was looking at an attempt to lure Zaha back to South London with a promise of plenty of game time.

"We've spoken to David Moyes about Zaha and I don't think he’s too keen on him coming back to London," he said.

"It's not a problem for us, he's a Manchester United player. We don’t think it's a goer, although we were very keen if there was a possibility to take him on."

But Pulis did claim Palace are keen to bring some new faces to the club during the transfer window.

"There are irons in other fires and we're working hard to bring other players in," he added.

"It's what we need to do. I said when I came here that this window was important. If we can have a good window that gives us a better opportunity of staying up."
