Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has insisted his future lies with the Eagles despite rumours of a possible summer transfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund have both been linked with Zaha during another impressive season for the Ivorian.<\/p>\n

Is Zaha happy to stay at Palace? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Zaha initially left Palace for Manchester United in the summer of 2013 but made just four first-team appearances for the Red Devils.<\/li>\n
  2. Since returning to Selhurst Park, Zaha has developed into one of the best players outside the top six.<\/li>\n
  3. Before signing a new contract last summer, the 26-year-old said “the love”<\/a> Palace fans feel for him keeps him happy at the club.<\/li>\n
  4. But the Eagles look set to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League again, with many onlookers suggesting Zaha belongs at a club higher in the table.<\/li>\n
  5. The Ivory Coast international has scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 29 league appearances so far this term.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Zaha signed a new five-year contract with Palace last year, meaning the Eagles are likely to command a huge fee for him summer.<\/p>\n

    But the player himself appears to be in no rush to leave Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

    “My future is at Palace. I am at Palace, I am not thinking about anything [else],” Zaha said, according to Sky Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “I’m just playing my football and I will just see what the future holds for me.”<\/p>\n

    Zaha’s importance to Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Zaha has been directly involved in 16 of Palace’s 39 Premier League goals this season, which is indicative of his importance to the team.<\/p>\n

    Roy Hodgson’s side are known for their organisation in defence, but Zaha has repeatedly given them the attacking edge over their bottom-half rivals.<\/p>\n

    Palace look set to stay up with relative ease this season; they are currently 11 points clear of 18th-placed Cardiff City in the table.<\/p>\n

    But the Eagles will know retaining Zaha is crucially important to ensuring another comfortable Premier League survival next term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
