Crystal Palace star Andros Townsend does not begrudge his teammate Wilfried Zaha wanting a move to a bigger club.

Zaha is desperate to get a move to a Champions League team, despite Palace's high price tag on him.

And Townsend believes Zaha, who scored 10 goals in 2018-2019, is good enough to play at the very top level.

"Wilfried Zaha could play for the very best in the world," Townsend told talkSPORT.

"He's the most talented player I've ever played with and he should be playing in the Champions League.

"I'm very grateful that we have him at Palace, everyone at the club is grateful, and if we have him beyond this window we'd be even more grateful!

"If that's the case I'm sure he'll knuckle down and have another great season.

"He deserves to be playing at the highest level, but as long as he's a Palace player and I'm hopeful it does continue beyond this window, we're grateful and delighted to have him."
