Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to make £25m offer for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha
Spurs boss may reignite interest in Palace winger following his early return from the African Cup of Nations
WILFRIED ZAHA is braced for a late transfer bid from Tottenham.
The Crystal Palace forward was on boss Mauricio Pochettino’s radar before going to the African Nations Cup.
And he remains an option for Poch in a £25million move to bolster his attack for a title challenge before the deadline.

The Spurs boss has been without crocked Erik Lamela since October and has Harry Kane leading the line.
Zaha, 24, could add to Tottenham’s pacy attack as Spurs look to challenge at the top of the table and in the Europa League — even though their interest cooled when he went to Gabon for the African tournament.
However Palace are determined to resist offers for the Ivory Coast international as Sam Allardyce plots survival in the second half of the campaign.
They are also planning to agree fresh terms to boost his current deal that runs until 2020.
Spurs were seriously looking at Zaha earlier this season before he was called up to AFCON, after switching nationalities from England.
Ivory Coast’s early departure from the tournament means Zaha is back and available for Palace.
But it also means he could be a key player on deadline day.
