Tottenham transfer news: Spurs NOT interested in Wilfried Zaha, Man Utd star preferred

The flying winger is in high demand following a stunning season for the Eagles.

Zaha was instrumental in steering Roy Hodgson’s side away from relegation danger last term, scoring nine goals in a campaign disrupted by injury.

The 25-year-old’s impressive form has sparked speculation surrounding his future, with reports suggesting that both Tottenham and Everton are interested in signing him.

Despite signing a five-year deal last summer and insisting that he’s happy in south London, it’s been claimed that Zaha has told his boyhood club he wants to leave.

Although Palace have slapped a £70m asking price on the Ivorian, he’s worth so much more to them considering they didn’t win a single game without him in the team last season.

And while Spurs have been touted as his most likely destination, football.london insist that Mauricio Pochettino is not pursuing a deal this summer.

Tottenham have been linked in the past but they’re unwilling to meet Palace’s valuation and would rather make a move for Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.

Everton have also been linked with Zaha but should he leave Selhurst Park he would want Champions League football and a switch to the Toffees would be considered a sideways move.

Hodgson is desperate to keep hold of his talisman and has made it clear he has no intention of entertaining a sale before the transfer window shuts.

“What people seem to forget with Wilf is he has got a four-year contract," he said.

"There is speculation every year around [Lionel] Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo too.

"He is our player for the next four years and the club has got no interest or desire to sell him.”
