Everton are reportedly preparing to offer Cenk Tosun in a bid for Wilfried Zaha.
According to The Telegraph, Everton are prepared to throw striker Cenk Tosun into their latest bid for Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.
Rumours are ramping up that Everton are serious about a move for Zaha, and their latest plan to get the Ivorian may make the Eagles really think.
It’s claimed that not only will Everton offer to shatter their club record with a bid of £60million, but they will also add striker Tosun into the bid.
Palace have previously wanted Tosun, and the total package is much closer to what they want for Zaha than Arsenal’s previous bid of £40million.
This would be a stunning offer from Everton, and a major sign of just how serious they are about beating major Premier League clubs to Zaha’s signature this summer.
The 26-year-old may well leave Palace this summer, and whilst some had predicted a Champions League move, Everton may now be pushing themselves to the front of the queue.
Striker Tosun isn’t a key player at Goodison Park, so it’s not a huge loss to throw him into the deal, but with Palace needing a striker, the Turkish international may become very appealing.
Swap deals are notoriously difficult to pull off, but Everton are at least trying – and Tosun could end up helping Everton smash their transfer record this summer.
