Opinion: Rivalling Arsenal for Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha is clearest indicator that Everton are finally ready to break into top six

Everton reportedly want to pip Arsenal to the signature of Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, despite the fact that the Eagles have quoted £80 million for their prized possession.

The Toffees are set to flog out of favour winger Ademola Lookman to RB Leipzig for £22.5 million, and want to reinvest the proceeds in another wideman.

Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri wants the club to break into top-six, and has splashed £45 million and £50 million on the signings of Gylfi Sigurðsson and Richarlison respectively in the last two summer transfer windows.
