(Reuters) - Having sold Yannick Bolasie to Everton in the close season, Crystal Palace would be loathe to see another quality wide man leave the club to a Premier League rival and striker Christian Benteke has called on Wilfried Zaha to stay at the club.

Zaha was dropped from the starting line-up for Palace's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth at the weekend after the club rejected a bid from Tottenham Hotspur for the 23-year-old.
