Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha looks dejected
Spurs are considering a £15 million bid for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, according to the Daily Mail.
The report claims that the 23-year old is one of Mauricio Pochettino’s top targets but that no official bid has been launched.
Zaha has four years remaining on his contract after rejoining the Eagles permanently in January 2015, following an unsuccessful stint at Manchester United.

Spurs have made two signings so far this summer but with DeAndre Yedlin and Nabil Bentaleb joining Federico Fazio and Alex Pritchard out the door – and the likes of Nacer Chadli, Ryan Mason and Tom Carroll also potentially leaving – the Lilywhites will be looking to bring in reinforcements.
Georges-Kevin Nkoudou at Marseille
Deals for Espanyol goalkeeper Pau Lopez and Marseille winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou are thought to be close but with under a week left until the transfer window slams shut, time is slowly running out.
Zaha would be an interesting acquisition for Spurs and his direct style and ability to beat a defender in a one-on-one duel is something Pochettino’s squad currently lack.

That being said, his end product is still in doubt – he managed just two goals and one assist in 34 Premier League appearances last season – and Palace will be loathe to let him go after losing Yannick Bolasie to Everton earlier this month.
