Wilfried Zaha will be going nowhere until a club matches Crystal Palace’s valuation of him – the Eagles have no need to sell their star man.
According to Sky Sports News, Palace rejected a £70 million offer, plus two players, from Everton on Tuesday.
The Eagles are holding out for over £80 million for the Ivorian, who has made it clear he wants to move to Goodison Park.

Such is Zaha’s unique level of talent, it makes total sense for Palace to remain stubborn in their stance.
The 26-year-old is integral to Roy Hodgson’s side, with his influence at Selhurst Park unrivalled in recent years.
If the right bid comes along Palace will accept it, but until that happens, they will plan of him being at the club this season.
The risk is that they are left with an unhappy player, which is far from ideal, but the hope is that Zaha will display his professionalism and focus on Palace commitments, should a move not come to fruition.
