In-demand forward Wilfried Zaha will reportedly see out the rest of the season at Crystal Palace before making a decision on his future.

The 30-year-old's contract at Selhurst Park is due to expire at the end of June, and there has been widespread speculation surrounding a possible move away from the Eagles.

Barcelona, who would be able to hold talks with Zaha this month over a free transfer, have been strongly linked with the Ivory Coast international in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, there is also believed to be firm interest from Tottenham Hotspur, with the club's head coach Antonio Conte said to be keen to bring him to North London.

However, according to The Athletic, Zaha is committed to seeing out his Palace deal, so he will not be on the move during the January transfer window.

Palace boss Patrick Vieira said last week that Zaha was "loved" at the club, who are desperate to sign him to a new long-term contract.

"We know the situation and we want to keep him. He's an important player for the club and he's loved here. We have to wait and see what he will decide to do. What matters is the commitment he is showing in the games," said the club's head coach.

Zaha has again been a key player for the Eagles during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring six goals and registering three assists in 17 appearances in all competitions.

Addressing his future last year, journalist David Ornstein said on the FIVE podcast: "Palace would dearly love to sign Zaha to sign him to a new contract I'm sure. But with free agency looming and he's never had that big move that many anticipated.

"Of course he went to Manchester United and it didn't work out but since then we've seen Arsenal linked with him, we've seen Tottenham at various points, and we've seen Chelsea last summer.

"That move hasn't happened. Palace value him so highly as they know without him there's a good chance they'd be in a relegation scrap. So they've always set a very high asking price.

"There'll be a number of clubs who will look at him and wonder if they can get him for nothing in the summer of 2023. There'll be conversations I'm sure. Many in the game feel he'll hold out and go as a free-agent and play in the Champions League."

Zaha has made 447 appearances for Palace during two separate spells, scoring 89 goals and contributing 76 assists in the process.

The attacker moved to Manchester United in 2013, but he failed to make his mark for the Red Devils, only making four appearances during an unsuccessful spell.

Zaha is Palace's 10th-highest goalscorer of all time, while he is third on the all-time appearance list behind Terry Long (480) and Jim Cannon (660). body check tags ::
