Tottenham to step up efforts to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha is keen on a move to Premier League title challengers Tottenham, according to The Bleacher Report.

The Ivorian international, who netted in his country’s 2-0 victory over Russia last week, has scored five goals and laid on six assists in 25 Premier League appearances for the Eagles, and scored a stunning goal in their crucial 2-0 win over West Brom a few weeks ago.

It’s clear that the 24-year-old will be vital in their attempts to beat the drop, Sam Allardyce’s men are currently 16th in the division, but this season could be his last at Selhurst Park if Spurs are to step up their efforts to sign the winger this summer.

And, according to reports, Zaha would be keen on a move to White Hart Lane in the summer, as Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino once again looks to bolster his squad for a sustained title challenge and greater European endeavour next term.

The North London outfit have reportedly been keeping tabs on the 24-year-old for some time now, and almost completed a deal in the winter window, with Pochettino clearly a fan of the former Manchester United forward.

There’s no doubt that Spurs’ first team is as good as any in the league, but it’s the strength in depth that they have struggled with, and Zaha would certainly give them another excellent option in the attacking areas.

With the likes of Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen performing well, it won’t be easy for Zaha to find a way into the side, but his level of performance in recent weeks has been exceptional, and more of those will surely see Spurs come in again for the Ivorian in the summer.
