The Ivorian international is seen as more than just any old player by the club that he joined as a 12-year-old boy. He is considered the face of the Eagles, who are keen to emphasise the winger's south London roots and recently signed him to a huge contract extension.
Zaha is now one of the top earners at Palace and tied down until 2022 after committing the prime years of his career to the Selhurst Park club.
Tottenham had been persistent suitors until that long-term deal was signed in May but have now moved on, while Manchester City have recently been credited with an interest. One Premier League scout told The Independent that Zaha is "the best gamechanging talent outside the top six."
But after a move to Manchester United didn't work out, Zaha has recaptured his best form at Selhurst Park, and is understood to be happy in London.
While he has been one of the best widemen in the league for the last 12 months or so and his value has skyrocketed, there are no plans to cash in on the 25 year-old.
