Palace boss Vieira hopes Zaha will be integral to his Selhurst Park revolution

Patrick Vieira hopes Wilfried Zaha will stay at Crystal Palace and be part of his revolution at Selhurst Park.

The 28-year-old winger has made 357 appearances and scored 60 goals for the Eagles across four stints at Selhurst Park.

Zaha was heavily linked with moves to Arsenal and Everton last year and has once again made his desire to leave the club clear again this summer.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Vieira said: “I’m aware about Wilfried [Zaha, his situation] in the last couple of years, but we had a really good conversation and I’m looking forward to working with him.

“He’s one of the most talented players in the league and we don’t want to lose one of our best players.

“All the players are smart enough to see what the club is trying to build and where the club want to go. We’ve made some really exciting young player signings and I think that shows the direction the football club wants to take.

“I hope Wilfried will be part of that and I am looking forward to working with him and trying to take Palace as high as we can.”
