Tottenham are favourites to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
Odds have been cut on Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha signing for Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window.
Ladbrokes have Zaha at just 5/6 to join Spurs next month, and the bookies believe a deal could be done next month.
Zaha is 5/2 to leave Palace in January and 1/2 to quit the Eagles next summer.

One stumbling block to a January deal would be Zaha’s possible participation in the African Cup of Nations, if he pushes ahead with his plan to commit to the Ivory Coast.
Palace are also likely to be reluctant to sell their star winger in the midst of a relegation battle, currently sitting in 16th place, three points above the relegation zone.
Tottenham made an attempt to sign Zaha in the summer, with The Telegraph reporting a ‘derisory’ £15 million bid had been turned down.

Their move came in the backdrop of Palace selling Yannick Bolasie earlier, and letting another key man go would not have been welcomely received by supporters.
Letting Zaha leave now would not go down well either, but if Palace were to sell in early January, then they could have upwards of £20 million to reinvest in players across the remainder of the transfer window.
If negotiations begin and drag on until late January, selling the winger becomes even less appealing.
Zaha has scored three goals and provided six assists this season so far in 15 Premier League appearances.
