Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira insists he is not contemplating losing star man Wilfried Zaha before the transfer deadline.
Zaha, who has been linked with London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, emphasised his value to Palace with a stunning opener in Tuesday’s 1-1 Premier League draw with Brentford.
The in-form forward has now hit four goals in as many games this term but was ultimately left frustrated after Bees substitute Yoane Wissa claimed a late equaliser.
Vieira says there has been no approach for his talisman as he dismissed reports about him potentially leaving. “I didn’t even put that in my head, I didn’t even ask myself that question,” replied the Frenchman when asked if he is confident Zaha will still be at Selhurst Park after the window closes on Thursday. “I am working with him every day and there is nothing crossing my mind that something like that will happen. “The only thing he is showing is competitiveness on the field, doing well for this football club that he loves very much. “There is nothing coming from any other club.
