3. Wilfried Zaha

If you’re a Spurs supporter, you’ve heard these rumours before. Zaha is still considered a Spurs target, and what an asset he would be. But the age-old argument about playing second fiddle to Harry Kane immediately comes to mind. A striker of Zaha’s ego, stock and skill will not be happy playing as a supporting act, particularly in a system that favours one forward up front.

That, however, isn’t the primary season Zaha won’t be playing in Spurs’ colours next season. The Guardian is reporting that Crystal Palace is placing a £100 million price tag on the Ivory Coast international’s head.

Even Liverpool is dissuaded by that exorbitant asking price, and only clubs with more money than sense, like Manchester United for example, are silly enough to fork out that kind of cash for a a showy and capricious talent.

Likelihood of signing Zaha = Very Low
