Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has submitted a transfer request, amidst a high-stakes transfer battle between the Eagles and several top-tier clubs.

Everton's £70m bid, which included James McCarthy and Cenk Tosun, was rejected by Palace, who are seeking at least £80m for the Ivory Coast international.

According to reports, Zaha is 'very disappointed and disillusioned' with the situation, which has seen Arsenal rekindle their interest in the player, despite signing his compatriot Nicolas Pepe from Lille for £72m earlier this year.

Palace, meanwhile, have made an improved offer of £23m for CSKA Moscow striker Fedor Chalov, as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
