2. Wilfried Zaha
Given Meulensteen's aforementioned connections with Manchester United, Fulham could also land exciting young prospect Wilfried Zaha on loan in January. Since signing from Crystal Palace, Zaha has found himself way down the pecking order under David Moyes, and hasn't played a single minute of Premier League football all season. It would be good for his development therefore if he were to go out on loan in the New Year, and the Ivory Coast-born England international
is on the Cottager's wishlist. Everton and Newcastle are also keen, but both are believed to want the youngster permanently, and Moyes is only willing to listen to loan offers, apparently giving Fulham the edge on their domestic rivals. United's good relationship with Meulensteen could help the West London club land Zaha until next summer, which would be something of a coup for the relegation battlers.
