Tottenham to launch £25m deadline day bid for Crystal Palace star
TOTTENHAM are ready to splash the cash on deadline day with a £25million bid for Wilfried Zaha in the pipeline.
Wilfried Zaha - Player Profile
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has so far refrained from adding any big names to his squad this month.
But the Sun on Sunday claim the Spurs boss is ready to spend big on Zaha before Tuesday’s 11pm deadline.
According to the report, Pochettino is seeking a new attacking influence as Erik Lamela remains absent with a mystery injury.
Lamela is currently at his former club Roma seeking treatment on a back problem that has kept him out for three months.

Zaha, 24, could be added to Spurs’ side to help lighten the load of Harry Kane, who remains Pochettino’s first name on the starting XI each week.
Crystal Palace are not interested in selling Zaha, who is back from Africa Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast.
