Wilfried Zaha’s new agent is trying to force through a transfer from Crystal Palace to Tottenham, according to The Mirror.

The winger has recently struck up a new relationship with Pini Zahavi in an attempt to secure himself a deal at a bigger club.

Tottenham were one of several clubs interested in Zaha’s signature during the summer. Arsenal and Chelsea are also thought to have held a previous interest in the Ivory Coast international

Palace stood firm in the summer. None of the interested parties bid anywhere close to the £80 million valuation and that’s likely to be the case during January.

Roy Hodgson won’t want to lose on of his matchwinning assets and it’ll be interesting to see whether the club will accept less during this month.

Tottenham are on the lookout for new players this month. Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko are both facing spells on the sidelines.

The 27-year-old has only scored three goals and registered three assists this season. As a result, the Eagles will do well to get anything like the requested £80 million for their star man.

Tottenham have been alerted to his desire to leave by Zahavi and Bayern Munich are also thought to be monitoring the situation.

TBR View – Zaha could do with a new challenge

The £130,000-a-week (Spotrac) star has every right to seek a move elsewhere. It seems logical, however, that if Palace hold out for £80 million, he’ll be going nowhere fast.

Tottenham probably have such money available to spend but they won’t splash it on one player – and it certainly won’t be on Zaha!

His form this season has been sporadic at best and he needs to find some form.

Zaha is lively, can score goals and isn’t afraid to take players on.

He does appear disillusioned with life at Selhurst Park and a move could prove best for all parties.
