Everton have denied they have made a second offer to sign Wilfried Zaha, days after Crystal Palace turned down an opening bid of a reported £52m ($63m) from the Toffees.
Marco Silva’s team joined Arsenal in the race for the Ivory Coast international at the weekend, although the Gunners' interest has subsequently cooled as they close in on signing Nicolas Pepe from Lille.
And while Everton have confirmed they did make an opening offer for the player, they have denied they returned with an improved £55m ($67m) follow-up bid that included two players in exchange.
