Now, The Sun report that Palace have been impressed with McNeil's development at Turf Moor, and would consider a move for him if they were to let Zaha go.

Palace would demand a huge fee for Zaha, so would likely have the money to make a handsome offer for the Burnley star.

Sean Dyche and co will no doubt be adamant that the youngster remains at the club during the January window, though.
