# Premier League star wants Spurs move with Everton and Liverpool set to miss out

Everton and Liverpool target Wilfried Zaha wants to join Tottenham this summer after rejecting an improved contract offer at Crystal Palace.

[The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/crystal-palaces-wilfried-zaha-pushing-for-tottenham-hotspur-move-5cvbcbrb3) reports that the player has been alarmed by comments made by manager Roy Hodgson about the club’s playing budget for the new season.

Hodgson admitted that he had been told to focus on avoiding relegation once again this season, all whilst working on a small budget.

The club have tried to convince him to stay with a new £125,000-a-week contract, but Zaha is refusing to sign and now has his eyes on a move to Spurs.

Palace value Zaha at close to £70 million, a price that Tottenham are not willing to match.

Everton and Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the player, with the Toffees reportedly willing to offer Palace the chance to re-sign Yannick Bolasie as part of a deal.

Zaha was Palace’s top performer last season by some distance and played a key role in keeping Hodgson’s side in the Premier League.
