Allardyce: Crystal Palace could find it tough to reject big offer for Spurs, Man City target Zaha

Sam Allardyce admits Crystal Palace may not be able to turn down a big-money offer for Wilfried Zaha.

The in-form winger is linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, among other clubs, and could be on the move if Palace are to receive a massive bid for his services says the manager.

"Wilf, us and the clubs that want him will decide his future in the end," Allardyce said.

"There is always a point where it may be impossible to turn down what is offered. That is realistic.

"Hopefully, we do not get to that point for a long time but it may be a possibility. Because he is a rare talent.

"Who knows how much he is worth? The Premier League has got bigger competition than ever before. It is called China.

"Now the Chinese are looking at the younger ones, and are paying bigger money than the Premier League has ever paid out to entice them to go to China."
