Zaha abakia Crystal Palace lakini kuna bifu kubwa

*Zaha Staying at Crystal Palace But Has 'Beef With Owners'

Wilfried Zaha is staying at Crystal Palace, but the winger has "beef with the chairman and owners because he wanted to leave", says manager Roy Hodgson.

Zaha, who handed in a transfer request at Palace on Wednesday, did not train with the rest of his team-mates on Thursday - instead opting to work in the gym alone.

Everton have been the most serious contenders for the 26-year-old winger's signature in the latter stages of the window - but have been unable to negotiate Palace down from their £80m valuation.

Zaha is understood to be very disappointed and disillusioned about the situation, but Hodgson is happy to be keeping one of his key players at Selhurst Park.

"Yes, he's staying, we are pleased about that. He's an important player for the club," Roy Hodgson told Sky Sports News on Deadline Day.

"His beef is with the chairman and owners of the club because he's wanted to leave and they haven't received the offer that they think is sufficient to allow him to leave."
