Pochettino pushes PSG to rival AC Milan for Crystal Palace attacker Zaha

PSG are joining the January battle for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

The Sun says incoming PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino has set his sights on Zaha next month as the transfer pursuit for the Crystal Palace star hots up.

The 28-year-old has been in fine form this season with eight goals in 14 appearances, which has caught the attentions of a number of European giants.

Pochettino will be handed funds to invest in the transfer window when he replaces the sacked Thomas Tuchel in Paris, and is keen to go back in for Zaha, who he chased during his five years at Tottenham.

PSG's interest comes in the wake of Serie A leaders AC Milan setting their sights on Zaha, with Palace now braced for a January transfer tug of war.

He has frequently been linked with a move away from the club but Eagles boss Roy Hodgson has spoken openly of his eagerness to retain Zaha, who is under contract until 2023.
