Wilfried Zaha eager to remain at Crystal Palace in January

Wilfried Zaha is reportedly keen to remain at Crystal Palace during this transfer window. 

There is plenty of speculation regarding the future of the 30-year-old at Selhurst Park. 

His current contract at the Eagles is set to run out in June, which means he could be signed on a pre-contract this month. 

However, as per The Athletic, Zaha is determined to stay at Palace this month.  

It is said that the experienced forward will decide in the summer about penning an extension or moving to another club as a free agent. 

The Ivorian has been an important member of Patrick Vieira’s side this season. He has started 16 matches in the English top-flight, contributing six goals and providing two assists. 

Good news 

Crystal Palace are sitting 12th in the Premier League table, having secured 22 points from 17 matches. 

However, the Eagles are currently enduring a difficult run as they have managed to win only one of their last four league encounters. 

They most recently suffered a humiliating 4-0 home defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. 

Palace will be looking to finish higher up the table, remaining as far away from the relegation zone as possible. 

Wilfried Zaha is one of their best players and keeping him at the club will be crucial to help achieve their targets this season. 

The 30-year-old has mainly played on the left wing but has also been used as a centre-forward by Vieira. 

The Ivorian is highly rated for his speed, athleticism and movement. He has averaged an impressive 1.2 key passes, 2.4 shots and 1.7 dribbles per game in the top-flight this season (as per Whoscored).
