Crystal Palace are set to offer Wilfred Zaha a new contract amid interest in the forward from Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham, according to Ed Aarons of the Guardian.
Zaha has been subject to interest from several top Premier League clubs in recent weeks following his impressive performances for Palace this season.
Guardian journalist Ed Aarons tweeted out this morning that Palace are set to offer Zaha a new contract in an attempt to keep him at Selhurst Park.

The Ivory Coast international helped Palace secure a sixth successive season of Premier League football with nine goals in 29 appearances last campaign, despite having been sidelined due to injury for two separate spells in August and March.
Zaha’s importance to the Palace side shone as they failed to win any of the nine games that he missed through injury.
Zaha only signed a new five-year contract at the club last season and has repeatedly claimed that he is happy with life at the London club.
The forward’s current contract sees him earn around £110,000 a week but Palace will offer an improved deal, which would see him pass Christian Benteke as the club’s highest earner, to warn off any potential interest in their star player.
