Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha and Stormzy agree deal to buy AFC Croydon Athletic

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha and Stormzy are part of a consortium set to take control of non-league side AFC Croydon Athletic in their hometown.

In a statement released on the club's official Twitter page, it was confirmed that the three-man group have exchanged contracts after several months of discussions.

Subject to FA and league approval, the prospective new owners will operate and develop the team as part of a project that will see them return to their roots.

A third member of the consortium, Danny Young, acted as the kit manager and head of player care at Palace before stepping down at the end of the season.
