Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has admitted that he is delighted to have secured the permanent transfer of Wilfried Zaha.
The winger had been on loan from Manchester United since August, but after committing his future to the Eagles, Pardew believes that the England international can kick-start his career.
The 53-year-old told reporters: "It was important to secure his future and kick-start his career. He has fabulous technical ability and he needs to bring that consistency now.
"We don't have any players here on loan now and that's important as when you're fighting in a relegation scrap, as we are, you need everyone pulling together."
Zaha has made 19 appearances for Palace in all competitions during the current campaign.
