Mauricio Pochettino identifies first Tottenham transfer after "no brainer" Arsenal blast

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha was desperate to join Arsenal in 2019, but the Ivorian could become Mauricio Pochettino's first Spurs signing if the manager returns to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Pochettino left Spurs in 2019, but has been linked with a return to North London with Antonio Conte's time finally up. The Argentine is understood to be open to a second stint, though he could yet take on a job in a different top European league.

Zaha is out of contract at Selhurst Park at the end of the current campaign. While there have been reports of big-money offers from Saudi Arabia, a move to Spurs could allow him to show Arsenal what they missed when coming close to a move four years ago.
