Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

Tony Cascarino has suggested in The Times that reported Tottenham Hotspur target Wilfried Zaha should leave Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham are interested in signing Zaha from Premier League rivals Palace this summer.

Former Chelsea striker Cascarino, who now works as a pundit for talkSPORT, believes that the 25-year-old Ivory Coast international winger should leave Palace.

Cascarino wrote in The Times: “He’s one of the hottest properties in the league. Does he want to be adored at his beloved team but have to fight down the bottom of the league every season? Or does he want to be a Champions League player? He deserves to be. I would move.”

Fitting in at Tottenham Hotspur

Zaha is one of the best players in the Premier League, and the former Manchester United star’s pace and skills would be welcomed at Tottenham.

Spurs could do with a player of the 25-year-old winger’s quality and calibre, and with the North London outfit playing in the Champions League next season, the Ivory Coast international would enhance the depth of their squad.

Manchester United struggles

However, it would be a risk on Zaha’s part to leave Palace for the second time and join a bigger club.

The 25-year-old winger failed to make a huge impact at Old Trafford during his time at Manchester United, and now that he has found his rhythm and form at Palace, it would be a big step for him to leave Selhurst Park and make Tottenham his home.

Zaha scored nine goals and provided three assists in 29 Premier League appearances for Palace this season.
