Harry Redknapp has told talkSPORT that Wilfried Zaha should not leave Crystal Palace for Tottenham Hotspur this month.
According to The Guardian, Tottenham are interested in signing Zaha from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace before the end of the summer transfer window.
However, it has been reported that the Eagles have rejected Spurs’ bid for the former Manchester United winger.
Palace chairman Steve Parish is quoted as saying by The Guardian that the offer from Tottenham was ridiculous, and that the 23-year-old will not leave this month.
Parish has also commented on social networking site Twitter regarding bookmakers’ view on Zaha joining Spurs.

Former Tottenham manager Redknapp has told talkSPORT that Zaha should remain at Selhurst Park and not move to Tottenham.
“He needs to play,” Redknapp told talkSPORT about Zaha. “If he goes to Tottenham and doesn’t get in the team, he’ll start sitting on the bench.
“He’s a big wheel at Palace, a big player there and the crowd love him, and he’s a big part of their team.
“He’s in there every week, and suddenly to be sitting on the bench [at Spurs] his head will go down a bit – it’s not really what he needs.
“I think he needs to have another season and show what he can do, because he has undoubted, great talent. There’s no doubt about it, on his day he’s a match winner.”
