Wilfried Zaha has left Crystal Palace stunned after revealing he wants to move on to bigger and better things.

I would rather us sign Wan-Bissaka - young, bags of pace, skilful and a couple of inches taller than Trippier.I think Zaha would do very well at Spurs and I would be pleased if we signed him, but unless we are planning on a big net spend ( which is not going to happen imo) then we have far more pressing needs in the squad.
Zaha has never fully convinced me. His asset is, obviously, his pace, but he doesn't score enough goals; however, that may be because he is playing in a Roy Hodgson (no ambition team, alongside players of a lesser quality than are found at the top 6 clubs. He has also stated that he is not satisfied with moving 'just' to a club in the CL, he wants to move to one that is going to win him the CL and bags of other trophies, blah, blah, blah. He says that he is 'too ambitious' so it looks as if he wants a return to Man Utd. I cannot see Guardiola signing him.
I think he is good enough to play for us in a front 3 with Kane and Son. But is he worth that money? I don't think so. At 26 he's left it a season too long I think to move to a club at our level as it will take him a full season to adapt.
Obviously it's a squad game but if we do sign him where does that leave Alli? Maybe in the advanced midfield role if Eriksen leaves? Or do we look for a deeper playmaker next to Winks or Dier or Sissoko?
A signing like Zaha requires a big rethink on our tactical approach.
Will be a huge amount including wages
