Tottenham Hotspur are said to be on a mission to sign the Crystal Palace winger.
Tottenham Hotspur are ‘on a mission’ to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, according to the Sun.
The newspaper reports Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman, has not given up on acquiring the winger ahead of next Thursday’s transfer deadline.
And it is claimed Spurs are prepared to offer the Eagles £30 million, plus a further £15 million in add-ons and a ‘massive’ sell-on clause.
Chelsea are already said to have had a bid of £30 million plus the midfielder Danny Drinkwater turned down by Palace, who believe themselves to be in a ‘strong position’.
According to the Sun, however, Zaha would be keen on a move to north London.
And the newspaper reports Tottenham could facilitate a move for the Crystal Palace talisman by offloading ‘fringe players’ Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura – with the latter already the subject of an enquiry from Real Betis.
Selling Moura so soon after his £25 million January transfer from Paris Saint-Germain would come as some surprise, however, especially given the Brazilian’s impressive pre-season form.
