Wilfried Zaha scored twice for Crystal Palace in a preseason friendly against Reading, amid intense speculation that he will leave the club in the transfer window.

The Ivorian international player was again the star performer for his side in a preseason friendly as he ran the show against Championship side Reading.

He provided an assist for team-mate Alexander Sorloth with a cross from the left in the first half to put the score at 1-0.

The winger then added two goals in the second half of supreme qaulity, before defender James Tomkins headed in a fourth in the dying moments of the clash.

Zaha sent rumours of his exit wild, after posting on Instagram that ' Today is the day I make a change with everything' before deleting it soon after.

Palace want to keep the player and offered him an improved, £120,000 per week, contract earlier in the summer, but it was rejected.

Clubs such as Tottenham, Man City and Borussia Dortmund are all thought to be interested in signing the former Man Utd wide man, with his club looking to get around £65 million for his sale according to 'Sky Sports'.
