Wilfried Zaha has begun negotiations with Crystal Palace over a new contract

Representatives for Wilfried Zaha have begun negotiations with Crystal Palace over a new contract, according to Sky sources.

Zaha has scored seven Premier League goals this season and played a major role in ensuring Palace preserved their top flight status under Sam Allardyce.

He has been linked with a move to Tottenham in recent transfer windows, with Sky sources understanding that the two clubs were in talks over a transfer. He was linked with a move to White Hart Lane again in January but has been a key player for Allardyce in the second half of the season.

Zaha has been vital for Crystal Palace this season

The 24-year-old started his career at Palace but sealed a £15m move to Manchester United in 2013.

However, he made just four appearances for the Old Trafford side before spending time on loan at Cardiff and then back at the Eagles.

Zaha signed a five-and-a-half year contract in January 2015 when he re-joined Palace on a permanent deal from United.
