Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says it's been another good season for the club's academy.

Parish is delighted seeing Wilfried Zaha and Aaron Wan-Bissaka star this term.

He said: "Our academy is really everything to this club. We've got the second highest amount of academy minutes in the Premier League this season. Wilfried and Aaron obviously make us all proud as all the players do but it's always particularly special when you get a player from the local area, it means so much to the fans.

"Of course, it's so beneficial to the club and that's really how we can punch above our weight and I know we can invest in that area. I know Roy's very keen on exploiting that and it's testament to the manager that he played Aaron, brought him into the team. You can't do it without coaches and managers who want to give these people a chance.

"We've got a really good environment for the young players, we've got some really good, exciting young players. We've just won the Under-15s Regional Floodlit Cup against Chelsea, narrowly lost to Barcelona in the Mediterranean Cup. This is a Palace side going out into Europe and doing really well at Under-15s level. We've got some fantastic talent and if we invest in it, we'll bring it through. I know these guys want to see more Wilfrieds, more Aarons."
