Palace chairman delighted with Zaha contract

Zaha has been key for Palace since Roy Hodgson took over, and he started the season with a goal against Fulham on Saturday. 

"It's absolutely fantastic. We're all so committed this year to giving it our best shot, and this is the final piece of the jigsaw," Paris told 'cpfc.co.uk'

"It's nice to put all those stories to bed, stories that we knew weren't true and were just rumour mongering. Wilfried the player that we've seen all summer has done everything properly and right.

"He's shown the respect he's got for this football club, and he should be applauded for that with all the noise that was going on around him. We've settled everything in terms of his long-term future, so we're absolutely ecstatic.

"He's scored the first goal when we bought the club in 2010. It's been an incredible journey that we've been on together. It's been a fantastic journey, for the club, for me, for him. It seems as though we're intertwined on this journey, and long may it continue."
