Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is interested in a move to Tottenham Hotspur, per The Independent.

What’s the word?

The Eagles star has been heavily linked with a move away from the Eagles in the summer transfer window.

Per the report, Arsenal attempted to sign the Ivory Coast international earlier in this window, while Everton are now interested in a deal.

However, Zaha is said to be interested in a move to Spurs, though Mauricio Pochettino’s side have not reciprocated that, with the club not currently interested in tabling a bid.

A wise decision

Zaha’s transfer fee is growing out of control.

A Sky Sports News report on Monday claimed that Everton had offered £55m plus two players for the former Manchester United winger, though it was quickly denied by the Toffees and they appear no closer to bringing Zaha to Goodison Park.

Spurs are being clever in staying out of a bidding war, then.

They have already spent over £50m on midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, surpassing their club-record transfer to do so, and have been linked with Real Betis’ Giovani Lo Celso and Juventus’ Paulo Dybala.

Throwing their hat into the ring for Zaha would only muddy the waters of those pursuits and would likely turn into one of the most expensive deals of the transfer window.

Spurs simply do not need the hassle, not to mention the fact that the Palace star does not at all fit the profile of player they are currently chasing; both Lo Celso and Dybala are forensic No.10s instead of being rampaging wingers.
