Crystal Palace boss Pardew: Zaha can leave... for £50M

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew insists Wilfried Zaha won't leave for less than £50 million.

Zaha showcased his quality against Middlesbrough on Saturday with a classy assist for Christian Benteke's opener before sealing Palace's 2-1 win at the Riverside Stadium.

"Of course I sat down and spoke to him," the Palace boss said. “I want someone to blow the doors off if they're going to come for him, not have him go somewhere as a squad player at £16-17m.

"When you see someone put £50m that's when you think about it. That assist for the first goal - I can't ask for more."
