Everton are still said to be keen on signing Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, despite having offers rejected.
According to The Times, Wilfried Zaha is now pushing to leave Crystal Palace and join Everton.
Everton have been negotiating with Palace over Zaha for some time, but have found their efforts fruitless so far.
Palace have batted away multiple bids, but are now having to consider changing their ‘not for sale’ stance, as Zaha really wants to move to Goodison Park.
Palace are now said to be weighing up whether Zaha’s desire to leave will affect his performances.
If the Eagles think that Zaha is so desperate to leave that it could have a harmful affect on the team, they may make a late u-turn and grant Zaha his wish of a move away.
Everton, on their part, are doing all they can to get the winger away from Selhurst Park.
The Toffees are willing to break their transfer record on the 26-year-old, who has become Marco Silva’s main target.
If Zaha was to join Everton he would be a hugely exciting addition to the Toffees’ squad.
The wide-man could be the addition needed to turn Everton into genuine top six contenders over the season ahead.
To make matters more interesting, Everton are due to face Palace on opening day, and if Zaha leaves it means he could make his debut against his former side.
