Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is set to play a key role in helping out the club’s women’s team with their development, according to Sky Sports.
Zaha has recently signed a new deal with the club and it seems he is keen to help about in other elements of the club.
Palace have recently been told that they would need to raise a total of £250 each if the side is able to survive beyond this season.
Zaha is an integral part to the Palace men’s side which is shown by the fact that in his absence in the last couple of seasons they have failed to pick up a single point in the 12 matches which he has missed.
The ladies team has 21 players at present and are looking to grow and develop their side as they look to move forward with the support of Zaha.
Crystal Palace released a statement explaining the role which Zaha is going to play:
Everyone knows what Crystal Palace means to Wilf and he wants to give the same opportunities to the next generation of aspiring players at Palace Ladies that he enjoyed when coming up through junior teams.
We encourage players to seek personal sponsorship to help raise the club’s profile and build links with the business community, but it is not a condition of playing for Palace Ladies.
Our senior squad currently consists of 21 players, all of whom are contracted to Palace Ladies and either receive a wage or are paid expenses.
