Wilfried Zaha made a surprise stop at a local training session for talented teenage footballers, sharing his advice and answering young players’ questions at Selhurst Sports Arena in south London.
The Palace winger was visiting players from Palace for Life Foundation’s Post-16 programme, which gives 16 to 18 year-olds the chance to study at college or university alongside playing football at a competitive level.
Zaha said: “It’s always nice to meet aspiring young players. I was really impressed with their positive attitude and to see how hard they were working in training. Education is so important and it’s good that the Foundation is encouraging them to study alongside their football.
