Premier League side Everton are not looking to sign Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha this summer, as reported on The Times.
As reported on Sky Sports, the Toffees had a £70m bid for Ivory Coast international rejected last summer.
However, the Merseyside club rejected the chance to make a second bid for Zaha, who ended up staying at Selhurst Park.
The report confirms that Everton may be on the hunt for a right-winger, but Zaha’s average form and incredibly high price means he won’t be considered by the Toffees.

The 27-year-old only has three goals and five assists in 26 appearances in all competitions (Transfermarkt), which we believe is not good enough for a big-money move in the summer.
Zaha did provide the assist for Christian Benteke’s goal during the defeat last Saturday but other than that, he was rarely a threat in our opinion.
This makes us feel that Palace may not be able to ask for such a high price for Zaha in the summer because his form isn’t as sparkling underRoyHpdgson as his recent speculation would suggest.
However, his current deal with Palace expires in the summer of 2023, so the club is under no obligation to sell him for a bargain price.
