Palace have done 'right thing' rejecting Spurs' Wilfried Zaha bid - Pardew

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has admitted Wilfried Zaha wants to join Tottenham, but says the club have done "the right thing" by rejecting the offer.

On Thursday, Palace chairman Steve Parish said Spurs had submitted a £12 million bid for the player, which he labelled "ridiculous," adding: "There's no chance whatsoever of Wilfried Zaha leaving the club in this transfer window. I can absolutely reassure every Palace fan he is an integral part of our plans."

The Eagles have already sold Yannick Bolasie to Everton this summer and, speaking ahead of Saturday's home match against Bournemouth in the Premier League, Pardew reiterated his chairman's stance.
