Zaha expects to join Everton by Thursday

The Blues have reportedly had an opening offer of around £50m turned down and the club felt moved to issue a public rejection of claims that they have submitted a follow-up bid that included striker Cenk Tosun and midfielder James McCarthy.

Zaha, who had originally had his heart set on a move to Arsenal before the Gunners paid a club-record fee for Nicholas Pepe a few days ago, still appears to want to leave Crystal Palace for a fresh challenge and in his report, Migeul Delaney says that the player expects a deal to be hammered out between the Eagles and Everton prior to Thursday.

Napoli have also been credited with interest in the 26-year-old but he is said to have been impressed by the standard of Everton's recruitment this month.
