Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson raves about Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has hailed his club’s star player Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha had been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea and Tottenham during the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old could easily fit into the starting line-up of a top-six club.

However, he has since signed a new five-year contract to remain at Selhurst Park which will see him earn wages of £130 000 per week as reported by Daily Mail.

The Ivorian scored nine goals from 29 Premier League appearances last season to help the Eagles retain their top-flight status.
