Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea reportedly want Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha.
According to The Mirror, Tottenham and Chelsea are interested in signing Zaha from Premier League rivals Palace in the summer transfer window.
The Sun has claimed that Everton and Borussia Dortmund want to secure the services of the Ivory Coast international winger.
Former Tottenham winger Townsend has underlined the importance of Palace holding onto Zaha, who is rated at £65 million, as reported by The Mirror.
Townsend told The Mirror about Zaha: “Of course it is no secret, our record with and without Wilf last season.
“He is a top player and we are thankful to have him at the club – and hope that continues for a long time.”
Crystal Palace exit likely?
Zaha is one of the best wingers in the Premier League, and his performances for Palace suggest that he is good enough to play for Tottenham or Chelsea.
It is clear that the former Manchester United winger has outgrown Palace, who struggled for survival in the Premier League last season, and a move to Spurs or Chelsea in the summer transfer window would be a good idea.
While the 25-year-old winger is settled at Palace, switching to Tottenham or Chelsea will be a step up for the Ivory Coast international.
