Tottenham Hotspur lead Wilfried Zaha race?

Crystal Palace's much-coveted midfielder Wilfried Zaha has emerged as Tottenham Hotspur's top transfer target, according to reports.

The 19-year-old, who has scored four goals this season, is regarded as one of the best players outside the top flight of English football.

Palace boss Dougie Freedman has insisted that the attacker will not be sold for less than £11m, but according to The People, Spurs are preparing an £8m bid.

It has also been suggested that the Premier League club will loan Zaha back to Palace until the end of the season as part of the deal.

A host of Premier League clubs have also been linked with the youngster.
