Zaha was instrumental in steering Roy Hodgson’s side away from relegation danger last term, scoring nine goals in a campaign disrupted by injury.
The 25-year-old’s impressive form has sparked speculation surrounding his future, with reports suggesting that both Tottenham and Everton are interested in signing him.
Despite signing a five-year deal last summer and insisting that he’s happy in south London, it’s been claimed that Zaha has told his boyhood club he wants to leave.
Although Palace have slapped a £70m asking price on the Ivorian, he’s worth so much more to them considering they didn’t win a single game without him in the team last season.
Tottenham have been linked in the past but they’re unwilling to meet Palace’s valuation and would rather make a move for Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.
Everton have also been linked with Zaha but should he leave Selhurst Park he would want Champions League football and a switch to the Toffees would be considered a sideways move.
Hodgson is desperate to keep hold of his talisman and has made it clear he has no intention of entertaining a sale before the transfer window shuts.
"There is speculation every year around [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo too.
"He is our player for the next four years and the club has got no interest or desire to sell him.”
