What the papers say
Despite plenty of interest from Chelsea and Tottenham, Wilfried Zaha is happy to see out the next few months at Crystal Palace as the two Premier League rivals refuse to match the £80million valuation for his services. The Daily Mail reports the 27-year-old forward is not willing to force a move in the January transfer window and will instead wait it out until the summer.
In-demand Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen could be on the verge of a huge international move with Sky in Italy reporting that Inter Milan have made an £11million offer for the 27-year-old. Although Eriksen has made clear his intentions to leave the club, Spurs are reportedly holding out for a better deal for the Denmark international.
Tottenham are preparing to make a move for Sheffield United defender Jack O’Connell, according to the Daily Star. The 25-year-old has been impressive for the Blades following their promotion to the top flight and is reportedly viewed by Spurs as a long-term replacement for Jan Vertonghen.
