Crystal Palace look set to offer Wilfried Zaha a new contract after his performances helped secure the club Premier League football for a sixth successive season.

The Ivory Coast forward enjoyed his most productive campaign yet as Palace recovered from losing their first seven matches to finish 11th after hiring Roy Hodgson as manager. Zaha scored nine goals in 29 appearances, having been sidelined for two separate spells in August and March, with Palace failing to record a single victory in the nine games he missed.

The 25-year-old signed a new five-year deal last summer worth around £110,000 a week and has repeatedly stated that he is happy at his boyhood club. However, with Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool having all shown an interest in recent weeks, Palace will attempt to ward them off by rewarding their star player with an improved deal that would see him become the top earner at the club ahead of the Belgium striker Christian Benteke.

It is understood that Manchester City had also previously shown an interest in Zaha, although that has cooled recently as they pursue other targets. Tottenham’s manager Mauricio Pochettino is long-time admirer of the player, while Chelsea’s interest is complicated by uncertainty surrounding the future of the manager Antonio Conte. Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is also believed to have monitored Zaha but now appears likely to press ahead with attempts to sign France’s Nabil Fekir from Lyon instead.

The out of contract trio Bakary Sako, Yohan Cabaye and Joel Ward, meanwhile, are close to signing new contracts at Selhurst Park on reduced terms after talks with their respective representatives. Sako, who moved to south London from Wolves in 2015, fractured an ankle in January having played an important role for Hodgson’s side as back-up to Zaha, while the former France midfielder Cabaye had been linked with a return to Ligue 1 with Marseille.

It is also understood that Palace are unlikely to pursue their interest in the France Under-20 goalkeeper Alban Lafont in this window despite scouting him extensively last season due to the impeding arrival of Vicente Guaita from Getafe on a free transfer.
