Crystal Palace must do all they can to keep hold of Wilfried Zaha this summer, or risk a season of struggle in the Premier League.
According to the Independent, the Ivorian “expects” to leave the club this summer, with Everton hotly-tipped to sign him.
The Toffees have tabled a £65 million bid for Zaha, with Palace likely to accept the offer if the money is paid up front.

While having an unhappy player around a club can make for an unhealthy situation, Palace must consider rejecting the deal and retaining Zaha’s services.
The 26-year-old is his side’s talisman, often carrying them over the finish line in games and producing moments of individual magic.
Not only that, but the winger’s exit will give Palace little time to find a replacement – the transfer window closes on Thursday – making the funds received for him redundant, for the time being at least.
Some already believe Roy Hodgson’s side could have a tough season ahead – losing Zaha could make for a tough nine months.
