Everton: Crystal Palace want Demarai Gray as Wilfried Zaha replacement
Crystal Palace have asked about Everton winger Demarai Gray with his future at Goodison Park in doubt, according to The Daily Mail.
Fulham have previously been linked with an interest in the Jamaica international, who is contemplating his future on Merseyside (Sky Sports, 10 June).
The Mail now claim on Sunday 2 July that Palace are eager to sign the Everton winger as they look for a replacement for Wilfried Zaha.
Move needed
There had previously been talk of Gray departing for £25million but that’s wishful thinking on Everton’s part.
He’s a £10million player at most, so this is wishful thinking from Nalton. However, the premise of what he is saying is correct. The Toffees do need to wheel and deal in the off-season.
Looking to recoup value and find value elsewhere is an absolute must. With Sean Dyche at the helm, they stand a good chance of finding changing their recruitment path. Too often, the board have targeted players who are well past their best and declining.
The 27-year-old has shown moments in a blue shirt but they have been few and far between.
If Everton really want to make an indent in the transfer market then looking to offload Amadou Onana looks like the most likely route to go down.
The 21-year-old is probably the club’s most valuable asset and could well be sold on for a significant fee to one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
