Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace star WILFRIED ZAHA has been named PFA's Player of the Year in the Championship.

The winger was honoured by his fellow professionals after an impressive season which saw him secure a move to Manchester United and make his debut for England.

He has scored six goals in 45 appearances for the Eagles this term, with nine assists. The 20-year-old will join up with United in the summer after his £15 million transfer was agreed in January.

ZAHA also featured in the Championship Team of the Year along with team mates Yannick Bolasie and top scorer Glenn Murray. Palace dominated that selection by having the most players.

Bolasie has wowed fans with his tricky wing play since signing from Bristol City at the start of the season, while Murray is currently the division's leading scorer with 29 goals.

Championship Team of the Year: Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester), Kieran Trippier (Burnley), Wes Morgan (Leicester), Mark Hudson (Cardiff), Wayne Bridge (Brighton), WILFRIED ZAHA (Crystal Palace), Thomas Ince (Blackpool), Peter Whittingham (Cardiff), Yannick Bolasie (Crystal Palace), Glenn Murray (Crystal Palace), Matej Vydra (Watford).
