Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has told Football FanCast that he'd be surprised to see Wilfried Zaha leave Crystal Palace this summer.

Palace's talisman, who scored a career-best 11 Premier League goals last term and is already off the mark in pre-season, was the subject of interest from Tottenham and Everton earlier this summer.

Zaha has been linked away from the club in each of the previous two years, and in an interview with The Times, the 28-year-old once more expressed his desire to leave the Selhurst Park outfit this window.

With just two years remaining on his contract, Zaha could be available to sign at a cut-price, but has already knuckled down since the arrival of Patrick Vieira and looks likely to get a move.

The Eagles boss has been a busy man in the transfer window, making three impressive signings, including Joachim Andersen from Lyon.

And whilst Palace are highly unlikely to be challenging for a European place next season, Bridge reckons that the arrival of a new ambitious manager with fresh faces could meet Zaha's demands.

He told FFC:

"I'd be very surprised to see Zaha leave, he would probably like a new challenge, but at the same time, he's kind of got one.

"He's got Patrick Vieira coming in, Joachim Andersen has just joined from Lyon, Olise, they want to sign more players."
