Crystal Palace winger Zaha reveals his charitable side

Crystal Place winger Wilfried Zaha reportedly gives a tenth of his salary each month to charities.


Zaha revealed his mother had played a key role in the keeping the 23-year-old grounded, despite all of the trappings that come with Premier League stardom.

"I give a tenth of my salary to charity every month so in terms of giving back, I do my best," Zaha told the E&H Foundation.

"That's not just charities here, it's charities in the Ivory Coast as well.

"My mum makes sure of it as soon as the end of the month comes; I do that as my good deed to help."
