Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is attracting Tottenham Hotspur’s attention, and seems open to the idea of moving away from Selhurst Park.

A report in The Sun has suggested that Wilfried Zaha has handed Tottenham a boost by telling friends that he feels ready to make another move to a big club, and thus, plans to reject a new deal with Crystal Palace.
The Sun reports that the Eagles hierarchy hope to convince the winger to stay at Selhurst Park and are prepared to hand him a deal worth around £100,000 a week, thus, making him one of the highest earners within Sam Allardyce’s squad.
However, the 24-year-old appears set to snub the offer with The Sun reporting that he has told those close to him that he is considering pursuing an opportunity at a bigger club if the chance presents itself.
The Sun reports that Tottenham are most likely to lure him away from Crystal Palace, and it is not difficult to see why Mauricio Pochettino wants to bag his signature based on the form he has shown this season.

Zaha has scored six and contributed seven assists in the Premier League and put in a scintillating display in Palace’s shock win over league leaders Chelsea at the weekend.
And while there may be concerns about whether Zaha can handle the expectations at the higher level given the difficult time he endured with Manchester United earlier in his career, his form this year suggests that he has matured as a player and it may now be a much better time to make that big move.
