Zaha ready to make Palace commitment

Crystal Palace youngster Wilfried Zaha will sign a new five-year deal with the club, according to manager Dougie Freedman.

The 19-year-old has caught the eye of numerous Premier League clubs this season, with Stoke City, Newcastle United and Liverpool all credited with an interest in recent weeks.

Despite the speculation, the attacker is now said to be ready to commit his future to the Selhurst Park-based club.

"I'm really pleased that Wilfried Zaha will put pen to paper and sign a new five-year contract in the next 24 hours," said Freedman.

"It shows the commitment the young players have to this club.

"He has made a great progression and I'm really looking forward to working with him long term."

Zaha joined the Eagles in 2007 from Ivorian academy ASEC Mimosas.
