'Prefer to spend £80m on a centre-back' - Tottenham fans react to Wilfried Zaha transfer links

Wilfried Zaha's future looks set to be a major discussion point across the next month.

The Crystal Palace winger was touted with a move to Arsenal in the summer, but the Gunners instead made a move for the 27-year-old's Ivory Coast teammate Nicolas Pepe, signing him for £72million.

Chelsea's transfer ban has been shortened, meaning the Blues could potentially make a move for the attacker - and now Spurs have been linked with the winger who is said to be searching for a Selhurst Park exit.

Zaha’s new agent Pini Zahavi is reportedly attempting to broker a move for the Crystal Palace star to Tottenham.

Zaha has previously been linked to Chelsea, with Zahavi reportedly having close ties to the Blues' owner Roman Abramovich and a good relationship with the board and Stamford Bridge.

However, the Mirror state that Chelsea will be waiting for the summer to make a move for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.

But Zaha remains intent on leaving Selhurst Park, and the Ivory Coast international’s agent is apparently angling on a move to Spurs, while also holding talks with Bayern Munich.

But the Tottenham fans are sceptical that any deal will go through, for a number of reasons.

A move for Zaha could be helped by Zahavi's previous dealings with Tottenham, with the super agent .

Spurs are said to be unwilling to go "anywhere near" Palace’s reported £80million asking price for Zaha.

So a move for the winger would potentially need Zahavi's help on both sides to progress.
