Tottenham have received fresh encouragement in their long running pursuit of Wilfried Zaha.

Spurs have not given up on landing the Crystal Palace star, 25.

And Zaha has rejected the Eagles offer of a new £125,000-per-week contract that would make him their top earner, giving the north Londoners renewed hope.

The development will interest Chelsea too as they are also keen on Zaha though have their managerial decision and the future of some of their existing squad to resolve first.

Palace are desperate to keep hold of main man Zaha and are due to return with an improved new offer.

But the former Manchester United winger's eagerness to test himself at a Champions League club again is a setback to their hopes of persuading him to stay.

Spurs believe they could land Zaha for significantly less than Palace’s valuation of their main man.

Palace had put Zaha in a similar price bracket to Riyad Mahrez who was rated at around £75m by Leicester but is poised to join Manchester City for £60m. Spurs value Zaha at £50m.

Increasing his options out wide is one of Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino's priorities and Zaha remains

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is determined to increase his options out wide and long-term target Zaha remains at the top of his wish list.

Zaha's current Palace deal, worth around £100,000-per week and signed last May, runs until 2022.
