Man Utd flop Zaha 'can be as good as Neymar' says former team-mate

The Eagles winger has been in fine form under Sam Allardyce and has the ability to excel at the very top, believes his former colleague

Former Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha can be as good as Barcelona star Neymar, according to former Crystal Palace team-mate Yannick Bolasie. 

Mou: Zlatan can show us the way

The 24-year-old ended a miserable spell at Old Trafford in 2015 to rejoin boyhood club Palace and has been the Eagles' standout performer this season, scoring six and assisting nine.

Zaha's stunning form under new Palace boss Sam Allardyce has seen the Ivory Coast winger again linked with a host of Premier League clubs, including London rivals Tottenham. 

And ex-Palace colleague Bolasie, who completed a £28 million switch to Everton in the summer of 2016, beileves Zaha's ability will see him to reach the very top of the game.

"He can go as far as he wants. I said the other day that he's got the same kind of ability as Neymar and people were raising their eyebrows," Bolasie told ESPN FC.

"But now they're starting to see it and nobody is saying anything anymore! I'm just kind of laughing to myself and I'm like 'Well, I said that already'.

Lyon can complete Mou's nightmare

"It's whether people take notice or not. He's catching the eye now and doing well for himself. At the moment, he's helping Palace a lot."
