Free agent Wilfried Zaha has been training at former club Crystal Palace this summer.
The winger heads towards the new season without a club following an exit from Galatasaray at the end of his contract.

Zaha played just one full season at the Turkish giants before heading out on loan to Lyon and then MLS club Charlotte FC.
Aged 33, he could be set for one last big move in his career and Palace are doing their part to help accelerate that by letting Zaha make use of their facilities, especially since he still lives in the area.
Could Zaha re-sign for Palace?
However, Eagles fans hoping for an emotional return for Zaha are almost certain to be left disappointed.
According to The Sun, Palace have no plans to sign the Ivorian.
Zaha is already a known quantity to new Eagles boss Pierre Sage, who managed the winger when they were both at Lyon.
The 33-year-old made just six appearances for Lyon across all competitions during Sage’s tenure, contributing just one assist.
Wilfried Zaha’s long-standing ties to Palace
Zaha joined the Palace academy in 2000 at the age of eight and first featured in the senior side ten years later.
He scored 18 goals and assisted 20 others in 143 matches as he helped them secure their Premier League return from the Championship.
Manchester United completed a reported £15million pre-agreed deal to sign Zaha in 2013, but he found it tough at Old Trafford.
Zaha made just four senior appearances for United and went on loan to Cardiff City, as well as Palace for the 2014/15 season.

A permanent return to Selhurst Park was finalised in February 2015 and he remained there until July 2023.
After totalling 458 appearances, 90 goals and 54 assists over his two spells, as well as three Player of the Year awards, Zaha left for Turkey.
Galatasaray brought him in, with the former England international making his first Champions League appearances in his debut season.
The season-long loan stint at Lyon followed but the move came to an end after just five months.
Zaha then played in MLS with Charlotte for a year-and-a-half, where he bagged 13 goals and eight assists across 48 outings.
