Schlupp confident Zaha focused on Crystal Palace

Jeffrey Schlupp has no qualms about Crystal Palace teammate Wilfried Zaha being affected by transfer speculation.

The Ivory Coast international is being linked with a host of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Everton.

"Wilf is Wilf, and he's got the X-Factor," Schlupp told Sky Sports after Palace's win over Oxford.

"He's irreplaceable. Every time he goes out on the pitch, he does his bit and it's great to have him in the team."

Asked about if Zaha's demeanour was the same amidst the transfer gossip , Schlupp said: "Yes. He just wants to play football and get on the pitch and show everyone what he can do.

"He does that pretty much every time he's out there."
