Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is playing well this season and has established himself as a key player in the team.

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international has scored six goals and created 34 chances in 31 Premier League appearances for Palace so far this season.

During the 2015-16 campaign, Zaha scored two goals and created 41 chances in 34 league games for the Eagles.

The former Manchester United winger seems to have regained his form and revived his career at Palace, and the attacker has been linked with moves away from Selhurst Park in the summer transfer window.

According to a report in The Guardian, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all are interested in signing Zaha in the summer.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy has given his take on the situation, suggesting that if Palace get £30 million for Zaha, then they should sell him.

“I imagine Zaha wants to leave and I don’t blame him for that,” Murphy wrote in The London Evening Standard. “There is no harm in wanting to play in Europe and better yourself.

“So if the fee is acceptable, both parties should wish each other goodbye and good luck. Do it the right way.

“If they get £30m for Zaha, it is a lot of money. Yes, he has had a fantastic season — but while six goals and nine assists in the Premier League are reasonable totals, they are not spectacular.”

Palace are 16th in the Premier League table at the moment with 38 points from 35 matches, six points above the relegation zone.
