Contract dispute has Crystal Palace future in doubt for Zaha

Wilfried Zaha could be on his way out at Crystal Palace amidst a bitter contract dispute.

The Sun is reporting that the winger is pondering a summer departure from Selhurst Park after being told he would no longer sign a new and improved deal with the Eagles.

It is understood that Zaha was informed last season that he would be offered a contract that would see him join Palace's higher earners only to have that promise taken away from him by the club.

The 23-year-old former Manchester United man has three years remaining on his current deal but Palace do not want to offer improved terms to those that have more than a year running on their deals.

Zaha, who earns around £35,000 a week, is believed to be hoping for an increase so he can be closer to the likes of Yohan Cabaye (£100,000-a-week) and summer arrival Andros Townsend (£70,000-a-week) in the earning department.

Watford are reported to be monitoring Zaha's situation.
