WILFRIED ZAHA’S next move is being held up because his deal with a top agency is running out.
Out-of-contract Zaha continues to train and get rehab for his hamstring injury at Crystal Palace, while listening to transfer offers from abroad.

But there is unlikely to be a decision on Zaha, 30, until he is clear of the agents — whose ties with him end this month.
The Eagles still hope the forward will realise their offer is better and longer than anything he could pick up elsewhere.
Zaha is technically a free agent after his Palace deal expired 10 days ago.
However, the Ivory Coast star is yet to indicate whether he fancies remaining at Selhurst Park.
Zaha has received multiple offers from abroad as he ponders his next move.
And Italian giants Lazio are hoping to snap him up after securing a return to the Champions League with a second-place Serie A finish under Maurizio Sarri.
The former Chelsea boss was linked with Zaha during his time at Stamford Bridge.
But there are other offers on the table too, including one from Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

They want Zaha to form a new front three with ex-Man City striker Edin Dzeko and former Rangers winger Ryan Kent.
Saudi side Al-Nassr also like Zaha and have submitted a contract too.
Even so, Palace hope their reported offer of £200,000-a-week on a four-year contract can convince their star man to stay put.
