After announcing the news, Zaha told the club’s official website:
Palace is in my heart and I don’t think the story is over. I spoke with (chairman) Steve (Parish) and I think I still have more to give this club.
The supporters have been amazing and I want us to do more than just stay in the Premier League next year.
I would like to thank the chairman for being a big part of my journey and his fellow owners for backing me and rewarding my progression.
Let’s do this!
That’s a summer’s worth of ‘Zaha to Tottenham’ tittle-tattle nipped in the bud, so to the Palace board we humbly say: Thank you.
