Everton are said to be interested in Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The Sun have suggested that Everton are chasing Wan-Bissaka ahead of the summer transfer window.
And while they are likely to face competition for the England youth international, Hodgson’s words should encourage Everton that a deal could be possible.
“We would be more than happy to keep them [Wilfried Zaha and Wan-Bissaka]. But we just have to remain realistic and see what happens,” Hodgson said.
“If offers come in they will obviously be assessed, like everything else.
“As I heard Manuel Pellegrini quite rightly say the other day [when discussing Declan Rice’s future]: every football player does have a price.”
If Everton were to sign Wan-Bissaka then he would be an exciting signing for the Toffees.
The right-back has been one of the best full-backs in the Premier League this season, and looks to have a hugely exciting future ahead of him.
Everton have struggled to find a consistent right-back this term, although Seamus Coleman has improved significantly of late.
If Wan-Bissaka was to arrive then the Irish international would have fierce competition for his place in Marco Silva’s starting line-up.
And if Everton present Palace with enough money then it seems that a deal could be possible for them this summer.
