Everton have seen a £70 million ($85m) bid, plus the inclusion of Cenk Tosun and James McCarthy, for Wilfried Zaha rejected by Crystal Palace.
The Toffees have emerged as the front-runners to land the Ivory Coast international, with Arsenal having effectively ended their interest following the club-record signing of Nicolas Pepe from Lille.
Zaha had been keen on joining the Gunners, the team he supported as a child, although the funds simply won't be available to fund a move for the player, with Palace having been demanding £80m ($97m).
