Charlotte FC Signs Wilfried Zaha on Loan from Galatasaray

Charlotte FC has officially signed former Premier League star Wilfried Zaha on loan from Galatasaray until January 2026, with an option to extend through June 2026. The 32-year-old forward, who has made a name for himself with 90 goals in 458 appearances for Crystal Palace, will occupy a Designated Player spot on the roster. Zaha's move comes after a limited stint at Lyon, where he struggled to secure playing time, appearing in only six matches. Charlotte FC's general manager Zoran Krneta praised Zaha as a 'world-class talent' who can make an immediate impact in Major League Soccer. Zaha previously played 10 seasons in the English Premier League, scoring a total of 68 goals during that period. His addition is seen as a significant boost for the club as they aim to enhance their attacking options for the upcoming season.
