Tottenham Hotspur manger Mauricio Pochettino is to attempt to make another move for Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, after failing to sign the winger during the summer with a £12m bid.
The Daily Mail reports that with the Eagles having a poor season, 17th in the Premier League table, and having recently sacked manager Alan Pardew, it could be a time to test the new regime.
Sam Allardyce has not made any hints that he would like to sell the winger who has been in inspiring form for Palace this season, scoring two goals and providing seven assists in his last nine games.
Tottenham’s attempt to sign Zaha last summer was branded as ‘ridiculous’ by Chairman Steve Parish, who will be looking for more than just £12m to be able to start tempting the winger away from Selhurst Park.
“I am happy with the squad,” said Pochettino. “It is always very difficult to improve in January because it is difficult for teams to allow their best players to leave halfway through the season. If some special situation happens, maybe we need to be open but it will be tough to improve the squad.”
Asked about Zaha, the Spurs boss replied: “I don’t want to speak about a player in another club. I like good players and maybe he is a good player. But I don’t like to start focusing on some names.”
