'It is not a distraction for him or the club': Patrick Vieira claims continued speculation over Wilfried Zaha's future will not derail Crystal Palace's progress... as the Eagles boss insists he will do all he can to convince his star man to stay

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says continued speculation over the future of Wilfried Zaha will not be a distraction for either the player or the club.

Zaha's five-year contract with Palace expires in the summer of 2023 and he continues to be linked with a move away from Selhurst Park.

The Ivory Coast international, who turns 30 on November 10, has yet to agree a new deal with the Eagles, which mean clubs from outside England could approach him in January.

Vieira, though, insists it remains very much business as usual as the south London club look to maintain their Premier League progress.
