Jeffrey Schlupp says his Crystal Palace teammate Wilfried Zaha is "irreplaceable" and remains relaxed amid interest from Tottenham, Everton and Borussia Dortmund.
Standard Sport reported on Friday that Zaha rejected the offer of a new £125,000-a-week contract at Selhurst Park because he wants to play in the Champions League.
Despite being linked with a move away from south London, Zaha started - and scored in - Palace's 3-1 pre-season victory against Oxford United on Saturday to earn the man of the match award.
After the game, Schlupp - who was also on the scoresheet - emphasised Zaha's importance to Palace and insisted the winger has not appeared anything other than relaxed during training despite speculation about his future.
"Wilf is Wilf, and he's got the X-Factor," Schlupp told Sky Sports after Palace's win over Oxford.
"He's irreplaceable. Every time he goes out on the pitch, he does his bit and it's great to have him in the team."
When then asked if Zaha appeared relaxed amid the rumours about his future, Schlupp said: "Yes. He just wants to play football and get on the pitch and show everyone what he can do.
"He does that pretty much every time he's out there."
