Roy Hodgson provides an update on Wilfried Zaha's transfer in the middle of the Arsenal and Everton links

Veteran manager Roy Hodgson admitted he had no idea if Wilfried Zaha would remain a Crystal Palace player next season with the closing of the transfer window just in two weeks.

The 26-year-old said last month that he wanted to take on a new challenge. His children's club, Arsenal, is thought to be his favorite choice.

The Gunners approaching a £ 72 million contract for Nicolas Pepe of Lille, however, the chances that Zaha will travel to the Emirates seem to fade, especially when Palace charges a fee of About 80 million pounds.

Everton became the favorite to sign Zaha, and the player himself would be open to listening to what the Toffees have to offer.

Addressing Sky Sports News, Hodgson said that he did not know what the future would hold for Zaha, as he had not yet joined the group after his participation for the Coast Ivory at the Africa Cup of Nations.

"He's dealing with the president [Steve Parish]"Hodgson said.

"The president is his link, they know each other very well and get along very well. Most of what's going on with Wilf is going on between him and the president and I can not enlighten you at all.

"What I know, you know. I know from reading your websites and newspapers that this or that is happening, but I can not enlighten you at all. "

If he leaves Selhurst Park, the palace fans will remember Zaha. He scored 10 goals in 34 Premier League matches with the club last season and sometimes coached him away from relegation places.

Although Everton is not able to offer European football, Zaha may well be attracted to the club's ambition, which has recently announced plans for a new £ 500 million stadium. accommodating up to 60,000 spectators.
