# Palace fans react as Zaha finally hands in transfer request

The big transfer story coming out in the last hour is that Wilfried Zaha has – finally – submitted a transfer request to Crystal Palace, with Everton still pushing for his services.

According to Sky Sports News’ David Craig, cited by his colleague [Kaveh Solhekol](https://twitter.com/SkyKaveh/status/1159108801229987841), Zaha – as previously known – wants to leave Selhurst Park this summer and has asked Palace to let him depart.

The Toffees seem to be the only club pursuing a deal for Zaha now, but Palace have already turned away both Arsenal and Napoli and seem intent on keeping the 26-year-old at the club.

### Read Crystal Palace’s verdict

Palace have received more than one inviting offer this summer for a player that they know is unsettled and wants to leave the club, but the questions asked by confused fans are similar now he’s ‘officially’ asked to leave.
