Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce insists Wilfried Zaha must stay and become a key man at Selhurst Park to realise his full potential

Sam Allardyce has told Wilfried Zaha to realise his full potential at Crystal Palace despite persistent interest from Premier League rivals.

Palace's clash with Tottenham on Wednesday night will see Zaha going up against the side most frequently linked with attempts to prise him away from Selhurst Park.

Eagles boss Allardyce has insisted that Zaha should stay put this summer, though, in order to maximise his rich promise.

'As far as I know, Wilfried's contract has a considerable amount of time to come,' said Allardyce, with 24-year-old Zaha contracted until 2020 with Palace.
