Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has revealed he is working hard to earn another call-up to the England squad ahead of Euro 2016.

The 23-year-old has cemented his place in the Palace side since returning from Manchester United earlier this year, and has scored three goals in all competitions for the Eagles this term.

Despite having last played for England in 2013 - when he earned his first two caps for the nation - Zaha has admitted he is now aiming to become consistent in the hope of being recalled to Roy Hodgson's side.

"My goal is to make myself a consistent, all-round player and try to get myself back in the England set-up," he said.

Palace re-signed their youth product in February this year after a disappointing time at United where Zaha managed to make just a handful of appearances for the Red Devils following his arrival at the club in 2013.

And the forward has now admitted Palace boss Alan Pardew has played a big role in helping him to regain his confidence and form after his troubled spell at Old Trafford.

"Alan Pardew has helped me get my confidence back that I lost when I went to Man United," he added.
