Wilfried Zaha says it is nice to see former Crystal Palace team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka getting recognised on the world stage since his move to Manchester United. 

Crystal Palace are monitoring developments with Hearts left back Aaron Hickey but have yet to make a bid.

Before this season, few Premier League campaigns had been more barmy than 2004-05, when conventions were ripped up and troublemaking footballers hit the front pages as well as the back.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is known for his robust nature in one-on-one situations against opposition wingers, and has named fellow countryman Sterling as his toughest challenge.

Crystal Palace are confident that Roy Hodgson will not be barred from managing on safety grounds amid the coronavirus crisis when the Premier League resumes.
