Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says Wilfried Zaha is focused on the club but admits they will have to work hard to keep him next season.
Zaha has had another fine season for Palace, who host Manchester City on Sunday, with eight goals and three assists. The Ivorian has been linked with a move this summer amid interest from Borussia Dortmund and his former club Manchester United. The 26-year-old is likely to attract more than £50m, which would be hard for Palace to turn down. “There is so much said around our top players,” Parish told BBC Sport.
“I could lay out probably a thousand articles from the last seven years about where Wilf is going to go and when he is going to go. Wilf is focused on between now and the end of the season. Clubs have to match the ambitions of the players. We have to move this club forward. It isn’t just supporters that get excited by things improving, it is the people within the club, the staff, the players obviously included.”
