Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha insists that he has "grown mentally" since leaving Manchester United and refuses to rule out joining another big-name club.

Wilfried Zaha has reiterated that he is happy with life at Crystal Palace but is not afraid to try his luck at a bigger club in the future.

The Ivory Coast international has enjoyed his best goalscoring campaign to date in the Premier League, notching eight goals in 27 appearances.

Zaha has inevitably been linked with a move away from Selhurst Park due to his form this term, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly lining up a £40m offer, but the 25-year-old does not plan on leaving the Eagles just yet.

"There's always going to be speculation. I am just trying to keep my head down, play my football," Zaha, who lasted just one full season at Manchester United earlier in his career, told Sky Sports News.

"I am enjoying my football and I am contracted at Palace. I don't really see myself anywhere [else]. I moved away when I was 19, 20, Whatever happened before happened and I have grown mentally.

"So that won't scare me, if I get the opportunity to move away eventually, that will not scare me because of what happened in the past. I feel like I'm a different person and a different player. I am a very ambitious person. I feel like I am a good player."

Zaha was on target in Palace's 5-0 win over Leicester City last time out, all but confirming his side's place in next season's Premier League.
