Biography

Zaha was born in the Ivory Coast,[5] but grew up in England from the age of four. He made his debut for the England national team. He made only two appearances for England, the latter of which came in 2013. He made a decision of playing to his birth country (Ivory Coast).[6][7][8]

Zaha moved into the Crystal Palace first team from their academy. During his time at Selhurst Park he scored 18 goals in all competitions. He later transferred to Manchester United for an initial fee of £10 million. Zaha went to loan at Palace.[9]

In December 2021, Dark Real Estate Affair concerns a company founded by Wilfried Zaha and a scam has more than 20,000 pounds embezzled.
