Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has suggested to talkSPORT that Tottenham Hotspur are a better fit for Wilfried Zaha than Arsenal.

According to The Daily Mail, Zaha wants to join Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

However, the Gunners securing the services of winger Nicolas Pepe means that the North London outfit are not going to make a move for the former Manchester United player this summer.

According to The Guardian, Spurs are interested in signing the 26-year-old Ivory Coast international winger this summer.

Former Palace owner Jordan has suggested that Spurs would be a better fit for Zaha than Arsenal.

Jordan said about Zaha on talkSPORT: “I think he would like to have played for Arsenal, I think playing for Tottenham is a slightly better fit, but they are not in the market for him.”
