Wzilfried Zaha’s anticipated return to the Premier League has been all but ruled out due to complex tax issues.
The former Crystal Palace star, who made a high-profile move to Galatasaray earlier this summer, faces significant financial hurdles if he were to return to England on loan.
Sources indicate that a loan move to the Premier League would leave Zaha liable to pay income tax in both the UK and Turkey. This double taxation issue has become a major stumbling block, effectively halting any immediate plans for a return to English football.
Zaha, who spent several successful years in the Premier League, has been a target for several top-flight clubs. However, the financial implications of a cross-border move have made it increasingly unlikely that he will don the jersey of a Premier League side this season.
The Ivorian winger remains committed to his new chapter at Galatasaray, where he will look to make an impact in the Turkish Süper Lig and on the European stage.
Fans who were hoping for a Premier League reunion will have to wait, as Zaha’s potential return to English football is now firmly off the table.
