A humble Wilfried Zaha has downplayed his philanthropic ventures.
The Crystal Palace star currently donates 10 per cent of his salary to charities in the Ivory Coast - who represents internationally - as well as a number of initiatives that support African youth.
"I'm a normal guy. I just come from a normal background," he said.
"I just try to show people that you can come from any background and still be an influence on this world as long as you believe in yourself and believe in what you are doing.
"Really that's who I am. I'm just a normal guy just following his dream."
