Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are among the clubs linked with Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha in the summer transfer window.

Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace is awarded with the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for April on May 8, 2018 in Beckenham, England.

Wilfried Zaha is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League, and there is no surprise that Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are among the clubs linked with the Crystal Palace winger in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham are interested in signing Zaha from Premier League rivals Palace this summer, while The Sun has credited Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City with interest in the 25-year-old winger.

Palace, though, do not want to sell the Ivory Coast international and are open to giving the winger a pay-rise, according to The Gambling Times.

It has been reported that Palace chairman Steve Parrish is ready to increase his salary despite having handed the former Manchester United winger a new contract only last summer.

Wilfred Zaha of Palace is challenged by Craig Cathcart of Watford during the Premier League match between Watford and Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road on April 21, 2018 in Watford, England.

Good plan?

Zaha is arguably the best player in the current Palace team, and losing the winger will be a blow to the London club.

Handing the 25-year-old winger a new contract would not be a bad idea, but the problem that Palace could face is whether they would be able to match his ambition, which must surely be more than just staying in the Premier League.
