Ex-Crystal Palace owner Jordan backing Zaha for Spurs: Best from academy 'I' produced | OneFootball

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan can see Wilfried Zaha joining Tottenham this summer.

Zaha has been the subject of interest from Arsenal and Everton.

But Jordan said on talkSPORT: “I don't think Wilfried has covered himself in glory this season. I think he is a tremendous player.

“Obviously I knew him from a very long time ago - he came out of the academy which I produced - and started his professional career as I was going but he's an incredible talent. I've been a major advocate of him.

“I think it's difficult to play in that side for him. I think it's difficult for him to play in the way that Roy [Hodgson] wants to set that team up with which is a team which reacts to what the opposition is doing, and a lot of onus is put on him to be able to perform but I do feel Palace are in a very invidious position because the player gave them another year. He is on £130,000 a week which in Palace's terms, is very expensive.

“I could see him going to Tottenham. It depends how [Jose] Mourinho wants to set them up next year and what he wants to do with them.

"He wants to go. I could see him going to Tottenham. He is in the price category that Daniel [Levy] might be willing to spend."
