Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira insists he isn't worried about Wilfried Zaha's contract situation.

Zaha struck in victory over Wolves last night.

The Ivory Coast international's five-year contract with Palace comes to an end next summer but Vieira brushed aside any suggestion that the deal's impending expiry was keeping him up at night.

"It's not an issue at all," said Vieira. "Wilfried knows what the club thinks about him and we know what he thinks about the club.

"There will be a discussion taking place but for myself and for the club what is important is for him to play at this level and to be consistent and to help those young players around him to grow and we'll see what will happen."

Vieira said: "When Wilfried has a good day I would say the team has a good day. He's an important player on and off the field, he's got the experience and today he was really good in possession, out of possession, he worked really hard.

"But we want him to have these kinds of performances, to be consistent and to allow us to follow him, and every player has to play at the level that we all know they can do."
