Tottenham have lined up two alternatives for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
It is believed the Eagles are preparing to offer Zaha a new contract to make him the highest paid player at Selhurst Park.
Palace’s star man agreed fresh terms last year, but another contract would ward off interest from top six clubs.
And Tottenham are reportedly targeting Stoke star Xherdan Shaqiri and Watford winger Richarlison.

Shaqiri could cost Spurs as low as £12m given the club’s relegation, while Richarlison is valued at £40m.
The pair are seen as cheaper alternatives to Zaha as Palace would demand a fee in excess of £50m. The Ivory Coast international scored nine goals last season as the Eagles secured their Premier League status.
Zaha’s importance was highlighted with Roy Hodgson’s men failing to win a league game without him.
Palace are confident of keeping Zaha this summer and would only have their heads turned by a mega bid.
