Tottenham To Swoop For Palace Winger

Crystal Palace are set to hold firm over any approach made for star player Wilfried Zaha.

The Ivorian / English winger is on course for his most successful season, both on the goal and assist front, which has earned him a series of admirers.

Tottenham seem to be the keenest party, and leading the pack as they are set to ready a £25m bid. This comes with the lack of options out wide Spurs have faced this season in the absence of key player Erik Lamela.

The move could prove to be fruitful for both Tottenham and the winger; Pochettino’s immense record in dealing with young players would inevitably be a factor playing on the wide man’s mind.

Palace already rejected an approach made by the north Londoners in the summer so it’ll be interesting to see if Sam Allardyce takes the same approach as then manager Alan Pardew.

The club is unlikely to entertain the idea of selling though until they have a replacement lined up, as they enter the new year desperate to improve on their 2016 form which leaves them just above the relegation zone.

The Palace winger is yet to comment on the growing rumours, which will only further fuel the speculation.
