Tottenham Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Wilfried Zaha and Milan Badelj

Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of landing Wilfried Zaha have improved after it was reported Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce wants to sell the winger following his decision to swap international allegiances. Meanwhile, AC Milan are stepping up their pursuit of Spurs target Milan Badelj.
The Sun’s Charlie Wyett reported Allardyce is “so angry” with Zaha’s decision to join the Ivory Coast for the Africa Cup of Nations that he’s prepared to sell the technician for £30 million in the January transfer window.
The 2017 AFCON kicks off on January 14 and threatens to keep Zaha out of domestic action for three weeks or more depending on how far the Elephants go in the competition, which has resulted in Allardyce’s ire.
BBC Sport confirmed on Wednesday that Zaha had been called into manager Michel Dussuyer’s provisional Ivory Coast squad, and Crystal Palace added the trickster had been granted special permission to join their Abu Dhabi training camp late:
