Crystal Palace boss Dougie Freedman says that Wilfried Zaha is not yet ready for the Premier League.

Crystal Palace boss Dougie Freedman has insisted that Wilfried Zaha will not be allowed to leave the club next summer.

The 19-year-old had been linked with a host of Premier League clubs in the summer, but Freedman believes that the youngster is not quite ready for the step up.

"Wilfried's got a five-year contract and as far as I can see he's going nowhere right now. If the right club approaches myself then I'll talk to the chairman," Freedman told Sky Sports News.

"If enough money is put in front of the chairman then he'll decide. It's as simple as that. Wilfried's got a long way to go. He's a young player learning his trade and I think there's no better place right now than Crystal Palace to learn it."

Zaha scored nine goals for Palace last season.
