Everton planning further Zaha talks – is it a realistic move?

Everton are reportedly planning further talks with Crystal Palace regarding a possible deal to sign Wilfried Zaha – but is a move a realistic one?

According to the Daily Mail, the Toffees are continuing to weigh up a move for the Ivory Coast forward, with Arsenal also still in the hunt for the 26-year-old.

Crystal Palace are looking to recieve more than £70 million for their star attacker, a fee which the Toffees would more than likely be unwilling to pay. 

Palace are thought to be keen on bringing Everton midfielder James McCarthy to Selhurst Park, so the Irishman could be used to bring Zaha’s valuation down. 

The player himself is interested in a move to the Emirates ahead of the new season, and with no European football on offer at Goodison Park, persuading Zaha to make the move to Merseyside could be a tricky one. 

There is no doubting that Zaha would be an excellent signing by the Toffees if they can get a deal over the line, however, a move looks extremely unlikely.
