Wilfried Zaha sees no reason to leave his "home" Crystal Palace.

The Ivory Coast international grew up in Croydon and has spent the majority of his career at Crystal Palace, with a two-year spell at Manchester United.

Zaha scored his ninth goal of the season as Palace secured 11th place in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over West Brom on Sunday.

"We didn't start the best, but I knew that the players we have, we were good enough to get where we are now," Zaha said. "I had no doubt that we'd get back to ourselves."
