Allardyce tells Spurs how much they'll need for Zaha

Allardyce tells Spurs how much they'll need for Zaha

Ahead of tonight’s clash at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce has fired a warning shot to the North London club and other potential suitors who are looking to sign Wilfried Zaha this summer.
 
The 24-year-old play-maker has had an outstanding campaign for The Eagles as they continue to pull away from the relegation zone in the Premier League and with a contract at the club until 2020, Allardyce hopes he can keep hold of the Ivorian next season.
 
In Tuesday’s press-conference, Allardyce, who recently described Spurs’ previous bid of £12M “absolutely ridiculous”, was asked by reporters if he thought his star turn was worth close to nearer £40M to which he replied; ““Personally, in today’s market, absolutely yes”, before adding that; “I hope nobody bids it.”
 
He went on to explain that; ““We would hope he would realise he should stay at Palace for the foreseeable future. He needs to stay here and play every week.”
 
Zaha had a disastrous spell at Manchester United where he failed to start a single game for the Red Devils before he quickly headed back to South London.
