Former Crystal Palace Owner Simon Jordan Believes Spurs Will Need to Fork Out £80m For Eagles Star

Crystal Palace's outspoken former owner Simon Jordan has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur will now need to fork out £80m to sign Eagles talisman Wilfried Zaha after he put pen to paper on a new deal.

Transfer speculation had been rife throughout the summer that the Ivorian would be joining the North London outfit after an impressive 2017/18 season for Palace. A deal never materialised however, and Palace kept hold of their star man, with Spurs failing to make any signings all summer.

Palace went one step further than simply keeping hold of Zaha as the new season began, tying him down to a new contract that will keep the forward at the club until 2023.
