Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee has been heavily linked with a potential departure in recent weeks. A report from TeamTalk claims that the player\u2019s representatives are still optimistic about arranging a move away from Old Trafford before the transfer window shuts.<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace and Tottenham have both shown interest in the Dutch striker, though it remains unclear whether either club can strike a deal. The two London sides have already made enquiries, attracted by Zirkzee\u2019s versatility, but Manchester United may be reluctant to allow the 24-year-old to join a domestic rival.<\/p>\n
Zirkzee seeking a reset<\/p>\n
United are unwilling to weaken their squad midway through the season and are hesitant to approve any exit. However, Zirkzee is keen to push for a move this month as he looks to secure regular minutes and strengthen his chances of making the Netherlands\u2019 World Cup squad.<\/p>\n
His spell at Manchester United has not gone to plan, with just nine goals and four assists from 65 appearances. With limited opportunities likely going forward, a move elsewhere could be the best option for the striker.<\/p>\n
Potential option for Spurs and Palace<\/p>\n
Tottenham are in need of added attacking depth, and Zirkzee could prove a useful option if he is able to rediscover his confidence and form. He would compete with Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke for a starting role.<\/p>\n
A switch would be particularly appealing if Spurs can guarantee him consistent game time. Crystal Palace are also in the market for attacking reinforcements, especially with Jean-Philippe Mateta linked with a January exit.<\/p>\n
Both clubs could offer the Netherlands international more regular opportunities, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops before the window closes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
