Sam Allardyce urges Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha to ‘forget about transfer speculation and focus on football’

Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce has warned Wilfried Zaha not to be distracted by transfer speculation and instead focus to continuing his hot streak for the Eagles.

The 24-year-old forward has produced the best football of his career this season to inspire Palace's recent resurgence as they battle against relegation.

Allardyce has already instructed Zaha to strive to reach the level of Chelsea’s Belgian star Eden Hazard, while Palace chairman Steve Parish has spoken of plans to offer him a new contract once their Premier League status is secured.
