Tottenham are preparing to test the regime change at Crystal Palace with another move for Wilfried Zaha.

Palace chairman Steve Parish hit out at Spurs for a 'ridiculous' £12million bid for Zaha in August, at a time when Spurs winger Son Heung-min was the subject of interest from Wolfsburg.

But the campaign has gone badly at Selhurst Park, and Alan Pardew was fired as manager last week.

New Palace boss Sam Allardyce has always liked Zaha and there is no hint he wants to sell one of Palace's most creative players.

Allardyce tried to sign the forward while in charge at West Ham and considered recalling him for England during his brief spell in international football.

But Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino rates the 24-year-old winger, who won two England caps before his switch of allegiance to Ivory Coast, where he was born.

Son, with six goals this season but only one since the end of September, is again in demand from Wolfsburg and Paris Saint-Germain.

Pochettino, while broadly satisfied with his squad, would like greater pace and variety from the forwards who support Harry Kane. Moussa Sissoko and Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, two wide players signed on deadline day in August, have made little impact.

'I am happy with the squad,' said Pochettino. 'It is always very difficult to improve in January because it is difficult for teams to allow their best players to leave halfway through the season. If some special situation happens, maybe we need to be open but it will be tough to improve the squad.'

Asked directly about Zaha, the Spurs boss replied: 'I don't want to speak about a player in another club. I like good players and maybe he is a good player. But I don't like to start focusing on some names.'

Spurs will not pursue Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, who played for Pochettino at Southampton, partly because of the rise of academy graduate Harry Winks, 20.
