Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the Crystal Palace winger.

Former professional footballer Matt le Tissier looks on during day fifteen of the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace on December 30, 2013 in London, England.

Matt Le Tissier raved about the quality of reported Tottenham and Liverpool target Wilfried Zaha, when writing a column for Sky Sports, suggesting that the Crystal Palace man has been this season’s break-out player in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old has been in superb form for the Eagles this season, chalking up eight goals and five assists in 28 Premier League outings thus far.

Zaha has played a major contributing role behind Palace’s climb up the Premier League table, and without him, they are an entirely different side.

His performances have attracted attention from some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs this season, including Tottenham and Liverpool, according to the Sun.

Le Tissier talked up the quality of the winger, when writing a column for Sky Sports, suggesting that he has evolved into a player who really influences games on a consistent basis:

“The difference that Zaha makes to that Crystal Palace team is incredible. It has surprised me the levels that he has played at consistently this season. The difference to Palace’s results when he’s not been available is telling. Zaha has now gone from being an unpredictable talent to somebody who is really influencing games far more than ever before.”

Quite where the 25-year-old will be plying his trade next season remains to be see, but if any club meets Palace’s reported £50 million valuation, it is hard to imagine a scenario where he will remain in south London.
