Report: Palace to offer Zaha new contract

Crystal Palace will reportedly offer Wilfried Zaha a new-and-improved contract in an attempt to fend off interest from their Premier League rivals.

The Ivory Coast international scored nine and set up three more in his 29 appearances this season to earn links with a transfer to one of the top flight's elite clubs.

Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have most recently been tipped to move for the £50m-rated attacker, despite his insistence that he is happy at Selhurst Park following a failed switch to Manchester United in the past.

Zaha only agreed a five-year deal worth £110,000 a week last summer but, according to The Guardian, the Eagles will reward their star player with another renewal to make him their top-earning player, ahead of Belgian striker Christian Benteke.

Palace were heavily reliant on the 25-year-old last season, failing to win any of the nine games that he missed through injury.
