Tottenham Hotspur have been tracking Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.

Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha

According to a report in the Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to make a move for Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha this summer – due to his international commitments.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino remains a fan of the winger, but Daniel Levy is not keen on the deal.

Levy feels that Tottenham should avoid spending so much money on Zaha, as he will miss a sizeable chunk of every other season due to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Zaha opted to play for the Ivory Coast rather than England earlier this season.

Palace are demanding that Spurs break their transfer record, if they want to sign Zaha, with the winger valued at around £40 million.

And the Telegraph claim that Pochettino will now have to persuade Levy into making a bid, if they are to target the 24-year-old.

Palace plan to offer the trickster a new contract, which will make him the highest paid player at Selhurst Park in the coming weeks.

Zaha has made 32 appearances in the Premier League for Palace this term – scoring six goals and creating 11 assists.
