While the player is already signed to a long-term deal, talks will begin soon over a new contract which would see Zaha become the highest paid player in Palace’s history. “I hope it’s not easy to turn Wilf’s head,” said Allardyce. Of course we would hope he’d stay at Palace for the foreseeable future. The summer will bring whatever it brings, whether it’s us negotiating a new contract and him wanting to stay, or some outrageous bid coming along. But he needs to stay here and play every week, and be the key man to Crystal Palace getting better and better.
