Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has hailed the ability of Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

England international Zaha has long been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, with the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal all said to be interested in his services.

Having witnessed the 20-year-old at close quarters yesterday afternoon during his side's FA Cup tie against the Eagles, Pulis saw enough to describe him as a "terrific player".

"He looks a terrific player," said Pulis. "He's got great feet and his balance, like all great players, is wonderful.

"He can go either side and he shifts people without even touching the ball. He's a top, top player."

Recent reports have suggested that Zaha could leave Palace during the ongoing transfer window.
