# Tottenham priced out of move to sign Zaha

Tottenham appear to have accepted defeat in their pursuit of Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.

[The Daily Mail reports](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6810761/Spurs-sign-five-players-summer-Christian-Eriksen-off.html) that Spurs are still long-term admirers of the player, but believe he will be too expensive ahead of the summer transfer window.

The London club have drawn up a five-man transfer shortlist but Zaha is unlikely to be pursued.

With Real Madrid continuing to be linked with a move for Christian Eriksen, Spurs look like they’re planning for life without the Dane and a move for Zaha had been mooted.

Tottenham were heavily linked with the Ivorian international last summer but were unable to clinch a deal.

Zaha instead put pen to paper on a new long-term deal at Selhurst Park, but that has not stopped questions surrounding his future.

Borussia Dortmund have also been [linked](https://readbundesliga.com/2019/01/23/dortmund-eye-zaha-as-pulisic-replacement/) with Zaha in the past, but it remains to be seen if they will pursue a move in the summer.
