Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira believes Wilfried Zaha will be proud of his achievements at the club when he stops playing - with winger needing one more goal for 50 in the Premier League for the Eagles

Patrick Vieira feels Wilfried Zaha will only fully appreciate how special his achievements at Crystal Palace have been once his playing career is over.

The Ivory Coast international moved to within one goal of 50 in the Premier League for the Eagles when he struck in Monday's 1-1 draw with Brighton.

Another goal for the Palace academy graduate against Leicester on Sunday will make him the first player in the club's history to find the net on 50 occasions in the top flight.

Zaha, who has made 400 appearances for the south Londoners, has repeatedly been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park but looks to be at his happiest and relishing a new lease of life under his new manager.
