Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira says Wilfried Zaha will be proud of his achievements with the Eagles when he retires.

The Ivory Coast international moved to within one goal of 50 in the Premier League for the Eagles when he struck in Monday's 1-1 draw with Brighton.

Another goal for the Palace academy graduate against Leicester on Sunday will make him the first player in the club's history to find the net on 50 occasions in the top flight.

Vieira said: "I think this is something that I am sure he will be proud of after his career. When you become a top player and a respected player in a football club, it is something that makes you proud about yourself.

"Wilfried has a really good and strong relationship with the football club and the fans. The fans love him and he loves the fans.

"He loves being at this football club. I think he will realise how important it is when the career is finished. This is when you will realise what you have been doing for a football club and how special it is."
