Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is a player in demand, with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton reported to be interested in the former Manchester United winger.

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

The 25-year-old winger struggled to make a huge impact during his time at United, but the Ivory Coast international has rediscovered his old form at the Eagles.

Zaha was one of the best attacking players in the Premier League last season, as the winger scored nine goals and provided three assists in 28 Premier League appearances for the Eagles.

There is no surprise that Everton and Tottenham are reportedly interested in the former United winger, but Palace manager Roy Hodgson has made it clear that he will not sell the 25-year-old.

Hodgson told Football.London: “What people seem to forget with Wilf [Zaha] is he has got a four-year contract.

“There is speculation every year around [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo too. He is our player for the next four years and the club has got no interest or desire to sell him.”

Money talks

While Palace may want to retain the services of Zaha, the fact of the matter is that money talks.

If Everton or Tottenham come with a major offer, then it would be hard for the Eagles to turn it down.
