Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have been linked with Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace is awarded with the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for April on May 8, 2018 in Beckenham, England.

Simon Jordan has suggested to talkSPORT that Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool would have to pay at least £50 million as transfer fee in order to sign Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Tottenham are interested in signing Zaha from Premier League rivals Palace and will make a bid of £40 million for the former Manchester United winger.

The Sun has credited Liverpool with interest in the 25-year-old winger, with Chelsea and Manchester City also claimed to be keen on him.

Former Palace chairman Jordan believes that Tottenham and Liverpool would have to pay at least £50m for Zaha.

Jordan told talkSPORT: “I think Wilfried Zaha is a £50million to £70million player in this market place.

“Given the inflated market place, given his age, given the fact he’s performed at such a level in a side this season which hasn’t been great.

“If you put him in a side that has some real balance and poise about it, you’d only get more from him. I think £50m would be the lowest he should go for.

“I think he’ll go for nearer £70m, and I got universally rounded upon as living in Narnia when I said that last week.”

Wilfred Zaha of Palace is challenged by Craig Cathcart of Watford during the Premier League match between Watford and Crystal Palace at Vicarage Road on April 21, 2018 in Watford, England.

Quality footballer

Zaha is arguably the best attacking player outside of the top six in the Premier League and has been key to Palace escaping the drop to the Championship this season.

The 25-year-old winger has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 27 Premier League starts for the Eagles this season, and he would be a success at Tottenham or Liverpool.
