# Zaha tempted by Everton move – could a deal now gather pace?

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha is reportedly tempted over a move to Everton – so could a deal now gather pace?

According to the [Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-target-wilfried-zaha-tempted-by-everton-transfer-a4197886.html), the Ivorian is open to a move to Merseyside, with Premier League rivals Arsenal also still keen on the 26-year-old.

Palace are looking to recieve a fee in the region of £80 million for the forward, with Everton keen on making a marquee signing before the window closes.

A move still looks unlikely with Palace’s extreme demands, however, if the two sides could possibly agree on a player-plus-cash deal, Zaha could well make the move to Goodison Park.

The Toffees would more than likely have to break their club-record and throw in a few players of interest to the Eagles to have any chance of landing the skilful forward.

If they can somehow get a deal over the line, it would definitely come as a welcome boost to all associated with the club.

Zaha would bring a real direct approach and goal threat to Goodison Park, along with plenty of pace and flair.

However, it looks as if a surprise deal still has a way to go, with Everton planning on further discussions with Palace in the coming days.
