While splashing out £50 million on Richarlison could go some way to bolstering the winger ranks at Everton, there is no doubt that spending that and perhaps more on Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha would be a huge statement of intent from the Toffees.
The Ivory Coast international has comfortably been one of the best players outside of the Premier League’s top six in recent seasons in helping the Eagles retain their top-flight status, thus prompting reported interest from Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham, and indeed Everton this summer.
And while Palace have placed a hefty price-tag on the 25-year-old, he would surely be worth every penny, which is why Silva must make a move for Zaha in a bid to send out a message to other Premier League clubs that Everton seriously mean business this season.
