Crystal Palace midfielder Wilfried Zaha is considering switching to Ivory Coast, after playing twice for the England national team.

Zaha believes he stands no chance to play for England now and after getting an offer from the country of his birth, he is ready to accept it and play for them.

The 23-year old has been regularly getting offers from Ivory Coast to play for them but finally he is ready to take his international career to new heights with the Ivorians. He could even make his debut as soon as January in the African Cup of Nations.

Manchester United's Eric Bailly and Stoke City's Wilfried Bony also play for Ivory Coast.

The former Manchester United star made his England debut in 2012 against Sweden and featured again for the Three Lions in a friendly against Scotland 12 months later.
