Wilfried Zaha has been voted Crystal Palace's Fans' Footballer of the Year, with over double the amount of votes to the player in second place.
The winger has played a crucial role under Patrick Vieira, guiding the club to a 12th-placed finish in the 2021/22 season and currently sitting in 11th ahead of the return of the Premier League.
Palace fans voted in their hundreds to name the Crystal Palace Fans' Footballer of the Year and the Ivory Coast winger was the overwhelming favourite, with almost 52% of the votes and the closest was Eberechi Eze with almost 25%.

Fifteen goals in 2022 and an added two assists showed that Zaha continues to get better with age and is still as impactful at the age of 30 as he was when he first broke into the first-team at Selhurst Park. His goal and assist against London rivals West Ham United before the 2022 World Cup break was Zaha at his dangerous best, lifting his side to a 2-1 win.
Zaha's contract runs out at the end of the current campaign but not letting that affect him on the pitch, only missing one game so far in the 2022/23 campaign and completing 90 minutes in all but two of the 13 fixtures.
Second-place Eze, as the wide forward continued his return from a season-ending Achilles injury suffered in 2020. Upon his return, Eze picked up where he left off and dazzled Eagles fans with his skills and trickery and added three goals and four assists over the last 12 months.
Across the Reach PLC football network, supporters have been voting for their Player of the Year from all clubs. Zaha did not make the top 20 for that award, which was won by Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who won the 2021 award, was 2nd in the vote, with England Lionesses and Arsenal star Beth Mead finishing third.
