Wilfried Zaha's future at Crystal Palace is uncertain, with the Ivory Coast international reportedly seeking a new challenge after four-and-a-half years at Selhurst Park.

Everton are in talks to sign Zaha, with the Toffees set to bid Sh7.7 billion for the Crystal Palace forward, according to reports.

The south Londoners value Zaha at around Sh10 billion and are under no financial pressure to sell, having already seen Aaron Wan-Bissaka join Manchester United for Sh6.4 billion.

Everton finished eighth in the Premier League last season and have already strengthened their squad this summer with the signings of Jonas Lossl and Fabian Delph, as well as making Andre Gomes' loan deal permanent.

Crystal Palace finished 12th in the Premier League last season, and Zaha has scored 53 goals in 323 games across two spells at Selhurst Park.

He has also had a Sh5.2 billion offer rejected by Arsenal, with his brother urging Palace to allow him to pursue a 'dream' move to the Emirates.
