Italian club Napoli will reportedly join Everton in the pursuit of Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha.

According to the Daily Mail, the Toffees have seen a £55million offer turned down by Palace for the speed machine.

It is understood that they informed the Merseyside club that the 26-year-old was not for sale this summer.

The report explains that Napoli are set to make a £60million bid for Zaha and the player could be tempted by a switch abroad.

Zaha has aspirations of leaving Selhurst Park to play in the Champions League and has informed Palace of that desire, which Napoli will hope can work in their favour.

TBR’s View:

With Zaha keen on exiting Palace this summer, Everton should consider another move for him and not be put off by interest from Napoli.

The attacker can play as a right-winger or centre-forward and is the type of addition that would strengthen the Toffees frontline.

He scored 10 goals and supplied 10 assists last season in the Premier League, while he is now entering the peak years of his career and should be ready to kick on.

Zaha could definitely be the type of marquee signing that would help Marco Silva’s group break into the European spots and Everton should not give up on him.
