Everton continue to chase Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
According to The Independent, Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha expects to join Everton before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Everton have been chasing Zaha for weeks now, and have so far failed to tempt Palace into a deal, with the Eagles unsurprisingly standing firm.
However, Palace will allegedly accept around £65million if most of the cash is paid up front, and Zaha is now expecting to join the Toffees before the deadline.
It’s noted that Everton’s ambition, which has been shown by signing Moise Kean, has convinced Zaha that a move to Goodison Park would be a smart step in his career.
Everton appear to have hopes of a top six finish, and Zaha is attracted by the idea of forming a dangerous attack with Kean following his shock move from Juventus.
The duo would really round out Everton’s attacking options. Kean can be Everton’s leading striker for years to come, and adding a star Premier League player in his prime would be a fine complement to the teenager.
Everton would also have a talented youngster with two Premier League seasons under his belt in Richarlison, and a Premier League veteran in Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Combining Zaha, Sigurdsson and Richarlison behind Kean would be remarkable, and give Everton an attack that many would be jealous of – and it’s no great surprise that Zaha is excited to be a part of that attack.
