Hercules reads gutter press. Woohoo!
It is incredible how I always get a feeling of deja vu when I read ‘itk’.
Then I realise its because I read the same thing on Newsnow 24 hours earlier.
He is. They just ommitted the full quote where it actually ended:

Wilfried Zaha could leave Crystal Palace, admits Steve Parish
The Ivory Coast international has long been linked with a move away from Palace with Tottenham among those interested
Crystal Palace want Dominic Solanke in the January window – but have opened the door for Wilf Zaha to leave in the summer.
Former Chelsea striker Solanke has yet to play for Liverpool this season and is also attracting interest from Stevie Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers.
Palace boss Roy Hodgson said: “First of all, we’ve got to try and make sure we do get him here on loan. It’s no secret he’s a target. What would he do? Provide an attacking threat.
"He’s a proven goalscorer through all the age groups at Chelsea and England. If he comes here, it’ll be up to him to show he can do that in Premier League football. He’s someone with the profile we’re looking for, and the ability we are looking for.”
Chairman Steve Parish insisted Zaha will not be leaving this January after a link with a move to the Chinese Super League.
The Ivory Coast winger signed a new five-year contract earlier this year worth £130,000-a-week but Parish said: “We have got a long history with Wilf. He loves the club and we love him. But of course people want to do well in their career over time.
“We have to look at it. We have to look at the right circumstances for Wilf, the right circumstances for the club.
“Right now, I know he is 1,000% committed to Crystal Palace Football Club. He doesn’t think about anything else. He is not interested in going to China. He wants to help us get up the table. That is all he is focused on right now.”
Palace lost every game they played last term without their star striker in the side, compared with 12 wins and 11 draws from 31 games with him, as he helped them recover from a disastrous start to finish comfortably.

City's bid for Ndombele knocked back
Emirates Marketing Project must up their offer if they want Lyon man Tanguy Ndombele.
The Times are reporting that the Premier League champions have had a £45 million bid rejected.
They value the Frenchman nearer £60m - and City now must decide if they will go back in.
Pep Guardiola is chasing another midfielder, likely to be the only position they are looking to strengthen in January.
Brown eyed-up by struggling Huddersfield
Huddersfield are trying to convince Tottenham to allow teenage left-back Jaden Brown to join their relegation battle.
Huddersfield need more attacking energy and see Brown as the type of player they need.
The 19-year-old only has six months left on his deal and his future seems unsure

That young German striker Arp who was linked not long ago was at Wembley to watch us against Wolves.
This piece gives the German speculation on what could happen regarding his future.
Would we actually be able to use him though? Even if Llorente were to be replaced by him, how much game-time would he see?

DE JONG DEAL DONE?
Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong has agreed a five-year contract with Barcelona, report SportBild.
Barca reportedly need only to agree terms with the Dutch club before the deal can be completed.
The Ajax star is regarded as one of the hottest properties in world football and is already a regular for the Dutch national team.
The deal in turn ends Bayern Munich’s pursuit of the midfielder, the report states.
So no Rabiot then?

Writing in a column evaluating the upcoming window for Sky Sports, Lyle Thomas outlined the four players Spurs could look to bring in.
He said: “Tottenham need to move players out in order to bring any in, having submitted their Premier League squad a man short due to only having seven of the eight homegrown players required.
“Midfield is the area they are thought to be looking at most closely. They have been scouting for long-term replacements for Mousa Dembele, who is also out of contract at the end of the season, over the last 18 months and injuries to him, Victor Wanyama and Eric Dier could force them into the market next month.
“They like players such as Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tanguy N’Dombele, Amadou Haidara and Donny van der Beek, and should they move on either Georges-Kevin N’Koudou or Fernando Llorente, then a space would open up for a non-homegrown player to come in.”
Tottenham identify first January transfer target and exciting young attacker ticks all the boxes
The Lilywhites could be set to make another swoop down the leagues for a future star
Tottenham Hotspur have serious interest in bringing young Hull City winger Jarrod Bowen to north London in the January transfer window, football.london understands.
Spurs have sent scouts to watch the young English attacker, who turned 22 a fortnight ago, in every game he has played this month for Championship side Hull, and the Premier League club are hoping to repeat their success in bringing Dele Alli up from the Football League by making a move for the attacking midfielder.
Bowen has already notched 10 goals this season from out wide on the right, including six goals and two assists in December alone to impress the watching Tottenham scouts.
He should soon pass his tally of 15 goals for last season, which earned him Player of the Year awards from the club and supporters, and Everton - managed by Bowen's former Hull boss Marco Silva - and Leeds are among the sides also keeping a close eye on the young attacker with a January move in mind.
football.london understands Spurs have shown a serious interest in a player who is not cup-tied for the League Cup, so could feasibly feature against Chelsea in the semi-finals this month. If he misses Hull's FA Cup match at Millwall this coming weekend then it would also free him up in that competition going forward.
Most importantly Bowen is English and with Tottenham targeting homegrown players in the January transfer window due to having too many 'non-locally trained' players in their team to fit into their Champions League squad, he ticks an important box.
Attacking trio Vincent Janssen, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Fernando Llorente are all expected to move on in the coming month and the departure of at least one of them is expected to trigger a formal move for Bowen.
Offers up to £7m have previously been dismissed for the exciting young Hull striker, but a figure of under £15m could be enough to capture his signature.
While Bowen is happy at Hull and scoring freely, it is believed that a move to link up with Mauricio Pochettino and his high-flying Tottenham side would be of interest despite the fact he would not immediately be a starter in north London.
Spurs' biggest issue is that if they do not move quickly when the window opens, other teams are circling who could offer Bowen more first team football this season.
At Tottenham, Bowen would have to work his way into the team, competing with the likes of Heung-Min Son, Lucas Moura, Alli and Erik Lamela, although Son is due to leave midway through the month to play for South Korea at the Asian Games.
There is a belief that Bowen has the potential to become another English success story at Tottenham and for Pochettino. With his eye for goal, he could also be converted into a striker, similar to the roles the versatile Son and Lucas have been taking up, in backing up or playing alongside Harry Kane.
Tottenham have a reputation for leaving their transfer deals until late in the window, a tactic which saw them miss out on Aston Villa's Jack Grealish in a barren summer transfer window, and in the case of Bowen they need to ensure he does not become another transfer regret as interest hots up in the talented young attacker.
Tottenham Hotspur are considered "below" Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, a source close to the player has told ESPN FC.
The 23-year-old's mother and agent Veronique said earlier this month that her son has taken the "firm and definitive" decision to leave the French champions at the end of the season when his contract expires, while Barcelona have publicly denied that an agreement is in place for him to move to Camp Nou.
The source said that Spurs, as well as Juventus, have been contacted and alerted to his January availability for €10 million after he informed sporting director Antero Henrique that he will not be signing a new deal -- a move that means the player is "indefinitely benched."
However, on top of Rabiot's demands of a €10m annual salary, large signing-on fee and long-term contract loaded with lucrative bonuses, the source close to the player said that the player and his entourage have their sights set higher than the Premier League club -- an opinion likely to raise eyebrows in North London.
The source said that chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi is "irritated" by the negative developments in the Rabiot saga and the fact that the capital club look very likely to lose another top homegrown talent despite pulling out every stop to keep him.
However, Al-Khelaifi is said to be relieved at the prospect of no longer having to deal with Rabiot's agent and mother, who has been troublesome for the PSG board for a number of years.
With Juve yet to enter the January race for Rabiot despite keeping tabs on him earlier in the season, and the player unwelcome at senior level, the source added that a swift resolution to the situation looks unlikely.
Rabiot will probably be left at home when the PSG squad travels to Qatar in mid-January for the club's Winter Tour.
Coach Thomas Tuchel is currently lacking midfield options ahead of Januaryand is having to get by with defender Marquinhos regularly playing in midfield, but said he respects PSG's owners despite the issue.
