Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha has been acknowledged for his excellent form by being nominated for the Premier League player of the month.
It has been noticed that the Eagles perform much better when Zaha is available and that was the definitely the case in April.

The Ivory Coast international scored four goals throughout the month, including two against Brighton as Palace began to move clear of the relegation zone.
They started the month just two points clear of the relegation zone, but Zaha’s performances have led the side to eleventh, six points clear of the drop zone and almost certainly safe.
The winger ended the month by opening the scoring in their magnificent 5-0 victory over Leicester, meaning he now has 21 goals for the South London club in the Premier League, putting him second all-time and just 2 behind the 23 that Chris Armstrong scored in the 90s.
He faces tough competition for the award, with Christian Eriksen, Jake Livermore, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jordan Pickford, Paul Pogba and Raheem Sterling also nominated.
