EVERTON SET TO SIGN ZAHA
Joseph Omoniyi
Emerging reports are claiming Everton are ready to ‘steal’ Arsenal target and Crystal Palace forward, Wilfried Zaha with a bid of £60m plus a player for the Crystal Palace forward.
Having made his intention to ply his trade elsewhere but in London, Zaha who has spent 4 and a half years with the southern London club may settle at north-west after an unsuccessful 2-year career at Manchester.
The south Londoners value Zaha at £80m and are under no financial pressure to sell having already seen Aaron Wan-Bissaka join United for £50m this summer.
The Ivory Coast international is understood to have informed Palace of his desire to leave Selhurst Park after returning from the African Cup of Nations.
Arsenal have had a £40m offer rejected for Zaha, after which his brother urged Palace to allow him to pursue a “dream” move to the Emirates.
Zaha has scored 53 goals in 323 games across two spells as Selhurst Park, but is believed to be keen to prove himself at the highest level after making just four appearances during his time with United.
Everton finished eighth in the Premier League last season, and have already strengthened their squad this summer with the signings of Jonas Lossl and Fabian Delph, as well as making Andre Gomes’ loan deal permanent.
