McArthur lavishes praise on ‘unplayable’ Zaha

Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur has lavished praise on his teammate Wilfried Zaha, labelling him as “unplayable”.

As quoted by Football London, the experienced midfielder assessed his side’s 5-0 win over Leicester City at the weekend and reserved particular praise for Zaha, who has been key for the Eagles this season.

He is just unplayable at times and I wouldn’t like to be a defender playing against him. For us he is a great asset when you can give someone the ball and he can run 40 yards with it.

The Ivory Coast has been instrumental in Palace’s bid to avoid the drop down to the Championship. Roy Hodgson’s side are, in fact, yet to pick up a single Premier League point this season when he has not featured.

Palace are not yet safe from the prospect of relegation this season but they appear to have all but secured their Premier League status following such a dominant display against the Foxes at the weekend.

The Eagles will be desperate to keep hold of Zaha this summer, with interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur still being widely reported in recent weeks.
