Last updated on .From the section Football
Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has signed a five-year contract extension with the Premier League club.
The Ivory Coast international has made 258 appearances over two spells with the Eagles, scoring 34 goals.
Zaha, 24, told the club website: "Palace is in my heart and I don't think the story is over."
He left Palace to join Manchester United in 2013 for an initial £10m and rejoined them in 2015 after two loan spells back in south London.
Eagles chairman Steve Parish added: "Wilf has been with the club since he was eight years old and in the first team from the day I arrived. He is our talisman and someone that week in week out gives everything."

Over the years there have been too many good players basically not paying, and just warming the bench or worse !!
Also the fans love him.
Wilf will become a Palace legend and set the Premiership alight for years to come.
The myth that he is a diver is going strong I see, he is one of the most fouled players in the league, and you should see the amount of challenges on him that go unpunished, its ridiculous. He actually shows amazing character and self control in not retaliating when he is getting zero protection from the ref.
OH yes, that's right. They are too busy trolling the MUFC HYS! And ignoring the HYS on "real football"!
