Crystal Palace pay tribute to Wilfried Zaha as he completes his £8m-a-year move to Galatasaray... with the club lauding him as the 'best player to ever wear the red and blue shirt'

Crystal Palace have paid tribute to former winger Wilfried Zaha after the 30-year-old completed a move to Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray.

Zaha is a product of the Palace academy and made his debut in 2010 before going on to feature 458 times for the Eagles either side of a short spell with Manchester United.

The Ivory Coast international's contract at the Selhurst Park expired at the end of June and he has subsequently been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia and PSG before settling on a three-year deal with Galatasaray.

Palace, who last month confirmed that veteran manager Roy Hodgson will continue as manager for the upcoming season, named the winger as the 'best player to ever pull on the red and blue shirt' in a statement on Tuesday.
