The 30-year-old will be available on a free transfer in June, and several top clubs have expressed interest in securing his signature.
Chelsea are the frontrunners at 4/1, a fraction ahead of any Saudi club priced at 5/1, although the player is set to reject a £9m-a-year offer from Al-Ittihad.
Arsenal, who tried to sign Zaha in 2019, are next in the betting market at 5/1, while Aston Villa and Tottenham are locked together at 8/1.
Newcastle are the final club at single-figure prices of 9/1, followed by Atletico Madrid (11/1), Borussia Dortmund (14/1) and West Ham (14/1).
There’s a clutch of clubs available at 16/1 including the likes of Leicester, RB Leipzig and Jose Mourinho’s Roma.

While reports in France say Marseille are plotting a swoop for Zaha and could have Champions League football to offer, as they sit in second in Ligue 1.
And Zaha is allegedly “very interested” in the move, though has made playing in next season’s Champions League his main ambition as he decides on his future.
Zaha has scored 90 goals and provided 76 assists in 456 appearances for Crystal Palace over his two spells.
The Eagles are understandably desperate to keep hold of their prized asset, and have made a massive pitch to keep him in South London.
But the longer the saga rolls on, the more likely it is he’ll leave. Particularly as Palace continue to search for a new manager for next season, with Zaha keen for ambition to be shown in an attempt to push for Europe.
