Liverpool have been urged to sign former Manchester United flop Wilfried Zaha in a bid to improve their side next season.

The Ivorian is out of contract at the end of the campaign and can leave Crystal Palace with talks over a new deal still unclear and there are a few clubs interested in him.

Over the last year, clubs like Chelsea, Tottenham and Barcelona have shown interest in the player, and it’s still unclear where he’ll be playing his football next season.

Now, Liverpool have been told to make a move for him as they look to get better next season, and a former Premier League winner is backing them to make the signing.

Danny Simpson, the league winner with Leicester in 2016, has suggested Liverpool should make a move for him in the summer transfer window.

“He can go wherever he wants, especially on a free-contract,” said Simpson to Stadium Astro. “I think Wilf plays better when he is the main man.

“He came to Manchester United, I know he was a lot younger, but if he goes to another top four or top six team, then he’s not going to be the main man, so it will be interesting to see where he goes.

“I think someone like Liverpool could do with him, at the moment because it’s not happening for them. I would bring him back here (Old Trafford).

“You have Marcus Rashford as a number nine and Wilfried on the left. That’s some firepower as well,” he added, suggesting a Manchester United return would work out for Zaha.

Crystal Palace have always said that they are keen on keeping the player at Selhurst Park for the foreseeable future and are in talks with his representatives to see if they can agree to a new contract.
