Paul Ince feels that Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha should look to go and challenge himself at Tottenham next season amid reported interest.
The Independent reports that Spurs have placed the 25-year-old on their radar ahead of the summer transfer window, with Mauricio Pochettino set to spend £120million on new players.
Zaha has been a shining light for Palace this campaign and has played a key role in the club steering away from relegation trouble.
The versatile attacker has blistering speed and an eye for goal, with Palace mainly deploying him as a centre-forward this campaign.
He has played in 27 Premier League games this season, scoring eight goals and supplying five assists in return.
BT Sport pundit Ince believes that based on his current form the Ivory Coast international could make a serious impact in Spurs starting XI and feels a move would make sense.
Zaha has scored four goals in his last four matches and is considered the talisman at Selhurst Park.
“He’s more of a London boy, I think Tottenham would suit him and he needs to challenge himself as a player,” Ince told BT Sport Score, as cited by their Twitter account.
“The way he is playing at the moment he could walk into a Tottenham side and perform.”
OPINION
Zaha previously flopped at Manchester United as a youngster, but he is now closer to the finished article and deserves a crack big at an elite club. Spurs have been long-term admirers of the dazzling attacker, who quite often bamboozles defenders with his dribbling and quickness. He has shown that he can rip Premier League defences apart and he would definitely add something to the Spurs frontline. Mauricio Pochettino needs an extra attacker to help compete with talisman Harry Kane and his pace would provide a great alternative. It may be costly to prize him away from Palace, but definitely worth the reward if he hits the ground running with Spurs.
