Tottenham Hotspur seemingly won’t be signing Wilfried Zaha this summer.
According to the Daily Star, Tottenham Hotspur consider target Wilfried Zaha to be overpriced at £75million – five times their offer in 2016.
Zaha, 26, tormented Arsenal on Sunday in a 3-2 win for Crystal Palace, and his superb performance has once again sparked rumours of a potential move this summer.
The Ivorian has hit nine goals and three assists this season, continuing his role as Palace’s undoubted talisman, and many feel he now needs a big move to prove himself in Europe.
Bleacher Report recently claimed that Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to take Zaha to North London, feeling he’s the ideal marquee signing for Tottenham’s new stadium.
However, the Daily Star report that Spurs feel Zaha is overpriced at £75million, meaning a big summer move seems unlikely, with Arsenal and Manchester United also feeling a similar way.
Zaha’s price has rocketed in recent years, and some Spurs fans will remember that they actually offered £15million for Zaha back in 2016, as reported by BBC Sport.
Three years on, Zaha is valued at five times that amount, seemingly priced beyond Tottenham’s reach. Many will now feel that if Spurs had got serious with their 2016 offer, Zaha would already be a Spurs player, rather than having to look on as they are now.
