Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino, is considering a shock move for Crystal Palace winger, Wilfred Zaha in order to add to his attacking ranks ahead of an arduous season, according to Daily Mail reporter, Sam Cunningham.

The North London side have been involved in a protracted saga revolving around Marseille winger, Georges-Kevin N’Koudou, and the Eagles winger could well be an alternative, with the Argentine weighing up a £15m move.

The former Southampton manager has insisted that he is happy with his squad, however, in a season where he will want to compete on all fronts, including the Champions League, some more depth may still be needed.

The 23-year-old winger, who returned to Selhurst Park – initially on a loan basis – in 2015 after an unsuccessful spell at Man United, would be a big loss to the South London side, who have already seen fellow forwards, Yannik Bolasie and Dwight Gayle leave for Everton and Newcastle respectively this summer.

Despite the turbulent time experienced at Old Trafford, the former Cardiff City loanee has 81 Premier League appearances under his belt, and has been twice capped for England.
