"Arsenal" faced competition: wanted to acquire W. Zaha and "Everton"

London's "Arsenal" is aiming to attract one of the leaders of the "Crystal Palace" team, Wilfried Zaha this summer.

The first proposal from the "Gunners," which was around 40 million pounds sterling, was rejected. It is reported that the "Eagles" hope to receive around 80 million pounds sterling for the 26-year-old attacker.

The situation at "Arsenal" could be complicated by another "Premier League" club. "Sky Sports" reports that Everton will also try to attract W. Zaha, with their leaders scheduled to discuss this opportunity with "Crystal Palace" representatives this week.

It is also reported that the player himself still prioritizes a move to "Arsenal," but the demands of the "Crystal Palace" team could hinder this.

Reports have emerged in the media that upon returning from the African Cup of Nations, W. Zaha informed the club leaders that he wants to leave the team.
