Everton are said to be interested in the Crystal Palace wide man.
Marco Silva’s only hint so far was that Everton would be targeting big names following his appointment, and recent links with Wilfried Zaha have fitted in what that strategy.
Zaha has established a reputation as one of the Premier League’s leading attackers, and is valued highly by Palace.
But Silva’s suggestion about Everton’s transfer targets earlier this summer, does suggest that ambitious targets could be on his wishlist.
“I have big names,” Silva said to the Independent. “The list is not so big. We will do everything we can to improve. I like to see competition between players every day.”
If Zaha was to be brought to Everton he would surely take up a large chunk of their transfer budget.
Farhad Moshiri has been willing to invest heavily since arriving at Goodison Park, but Zaha would almost certainly set them back a club record fee.
Everton were disappointing last term, when they failed to live up to expectations, but there is a hope that Silva’s appointment can push the Merseyside outfit on to the next level.
