Could England be about to lose a talented winger?

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha could swap England for his country of birth Ivory Coast, after a lack of chances on the international scene has seen the player become increasingly frustrated, according to MirrorSport.

It was a surprise to many, including pundits, that Zaha was omitted from the most recent England squad selected by Gareth Southgate after a number of impressive performances. However, a Palace player who has been out of form, Andros Townsend, was selected and featured during the international break.

Zaha has made two appearances for the England international set-up but since both of those were as a substitute, the winger could yet still change his allegiance to Ivory Coast where it would be assumed, the 24-year-old would be selected more often.

In a season of difficulty for the Eagles, the tricky winger has been one of the more impressive players featuring for the team every week, with Zaha being one of the most in-form English players in his position heading into the international break.
