Zaha reveals his advice to Eze

Wilfried Zaha says Eberechi Eze can go “as high as possible” as he continues to impress at Selhurst Park.

Speaking to Premier League Productions before Palace’s trip to West Ham this evening, Zaha also highlighted the positive effect Eze’s introduction has had on his own game.

“100% [he helps my game]. I’m not having to drop deep and dribble as much. I’ve taken that role of playing up-front now, so I don’t have to dribble as much and I just get into the right positions. So him being a dribbler helps me.”

He revealed the advice he had given Eze as the young winger’s game continues to develop: “I speak to him all the time – the way he plays and his dribbling is like looking at myself when I was younger.
