Just the news that every Crystal Palace fan will have wanted to hear.

The Eagles have just beaten their local rivals Fulham 2-1, and, if that wasn't enough, Wilfried Zaha is "enjoying his football" at Selhurst Park if recent reports are to be believed.

Having handed in a transfer request in the summer, Zaha has made no secret of his desire to leave Palace, but if The Evening Standard's Malik Ouzia's article is anything to go by, he may be open to staying at the club.

In fact, Dan Cook believes that Zaha could be convinced to stay if the club appoint a more attack-minded manager. Speaking on a recent episode of the HLTCO podcast, as quoted by This is Futbol, he said: “It may well be that he wouldn’t mind staying at Crystal Palace long-term if he was playing under a manager that gave him and everyone else around him a bit more attacking freedom."

Whilst this probably won't give Roy Hodgson a lot of confidence, Eberechi Eze may have just received the best news imaginable. It's no secret that the 22-year-old is a big admirer of the Ivory Coast international, as he heaped praise on his teammate after playing alongside the forward in the 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic in a pre-season friendly.

Speaking after the game, Eze told the club website: "Linking with the attacking players was fun, it was good for me to get my fitness up and it’s just been a good performance.

"[Wilfried Zaha is] an amazing player. It’s good to play with guys like him and guys of his quality, because they see things others don’t see and it makes life a lot easier for yourself."

Once hailed as an "outstanding" player by QPR boss Mark Warburton, Eze arguably hasn't always had it easy, as he has been restricted to just two Premier League starts since joining Palace from Queens Park Rangers in the summer. Last season, the winger scored 14 goals and supplied 8 assists in the Championship, whilst he averaged 2.2 shots, 1.8 key passes and 3 dribbles per game, via WhoScored.

He has also insisted he wanted to move to Selhurst Park in the first place to continue his development as a player, saying: “[The deal] definitely shows their [Palace’s] belief in me - and I want to be here, I want to play, I want to do as well as I can for this club and it’s a brilliant opportunity.

“It was the plan that was set out for me and what they’ve said about me and it’s the most in-line with what I feel about myself. For me, that’s the most important thing – more than ‘what the club is’ or whatever. I think the plan they have for me and where they see me, that’s what it is."

If Zaha does end up staying for the rest of the season, then that will be a huge boost for Eze as he still has a lot to learn to grow and develop as a player, and who better to learn from than one of the best players in the club's history? He just needs to be guaranteed game time, which is something that Hodgson has largely failed to provide so far.
