Dougie Freedman hopeful of keeping Premier League target Wilfried Zaha

Freedman: 'Zaha's worth over £11m'

Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman believes that any Premier League club interested in winger Wilfried Zaha will have to offer more than £11m.

The 19-year-old has been strongly linked to Manchester City and Liverpool after impressing for the Championship club since last season but Freedman is hopeful that he can keep hold of the teen.

"I know he's worth more than £11m," Freedman told Sky Sports News. "He's a young man that's come from the academy and has dedicated himself to football.

"He's working very, very hard and he's heading in the right direction. As we speak right now he's on a long contract and we'll be delighted to see the window go by."

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have also previously been named as potential destinations for the youngster.
