England's newest recruit Wilfried Zaha feels he is ready to take the step up to senior international football in his stride.
A hosts of clubs, including Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with a January move for Zaha, but he is enjoying regular first-team football with the Eagles. He is fully aware of the perils of stepping up to the Premier League too soon and does not want to follow in the footsteps of John Bostock, who failed to make an impact at Tottenham after making the move from Palace as a teenager. Zaha said: "The Premier League is where I want to go, but I'm not saying I want to leave Palace right now. "John Bostock left Palace when he was 16 and playing in the first team, but he left for the first club that came in for him - that's kind of stupid. "Me I've played over 100 games in the Championship. (Alex) Oxlade Chamberlain went from League One to Arsenal and didn't play anywhere near that."
