One of the best players currently emerging in the Premier League is Wilfried Zaha. The 24-year-old winger from Ivory Coast is one of the most interesting prospects for the Premier League club Crystal Palace and can be soon grabbed by bigger names like Tottenham Hotspur.
Wilfried Zaha has been in mercurial form, scoring six goals and providing nine assists so far in the season. Last Saturday, when Crystal Palace faced Chelsea in a Premier League clash, even their biggest fan would not have expected them to beat the current league leaders by 2 goals to 1. Zaha starred in the match with a goal of his own and set up another.
This indomitable form of the Ivory Coast International has earned him a lot of praise from every part of the football fraternity. It has also led the biggest clubs in the Premier League like Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool, etc pursue Zaha. Palace boss Sam Allardyce is aware of the fact that if Crystal Palace gets relegated at the end of this season, it will be hard to keep Zaha with the team.
Wilfred Zaha also played for England from 2011 to 2013 before committing his allegiance to Ivory Coast in 2016. Wilfried Zaha has predominantly been playing in the position of right winger for all the clubs throughout his career. In March 2012, Zaha won The Football League’s “Young player of Year”.
Sam Allardyce also says that he is sure that the club authority are going to offer a new contract to Zaha in case the club doesn’t get relegated this season.
He also said that Zaha should not be listening to the media releases and the news as well. Any kind of criticism should be well avoided, which might have adverse effects on these people.
Tottenham are currently one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, if not the world. 5-6 players from Tottenham currently feature regularly in the England team. With heavyweight names like Harry Kane and Dele Alli by his side, the Ivory Coast winger can find it to be the perfect team to play for and have a long career.
Tottenham, on the other hand, will be benefitted immensely by the presence of an athletic and exuberant player in their ranks. All they have to do is nurture the right player in the right manner to get maximum output from him. Wilfried Zaha has the capability to live up to the expectations of the Tottenham fans.
