Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha in recent times.

According to the Daily Mirror, Manchester City are lining up a bid for Wilfried Zaha and that should give Tottenham Hotspur further incentive to wrap up a deal quickly.

Zaha has been in wonderful form at Palace recently, with the winger helping Roy Hodgson’s side move out of the relegation zone.

The 25-year-old’s performances have now caught the eye of City, with almost all of the Premier League’s Champions League chasing teams said to be after Zaha.

And Spurs should now realise that they can no longer play the waiting game, if they really want to sign the wide-man.

Zaha is said to be valued at £40 million by Palace, and Spurs would be wise to offer that fee, as soon as the January transfer window opens to try and beat the competition.

Although Tottenham have been loathed to spend big amounts frequently, Daniel Levy proved that he was willing to part with large sums if the right player becomes available, when he snapped up Davinson Sanchez from Ajax last summer.

There is no question that Zaha would improve Tottenham’s attacking quality, and could offer Mauricio Pochettino a new outlet.

With Spurs struggling to reclaim their top four spot, that could be crucial, and the Lilywhites should now be doing everything they can to bring Zaha to Wembley in January, otherwise they might leave it too late.
