The transfer window across the continent is now closed for all, and Everton managed to pull off one last deal before the deadline.
I would like to thank everybody at @Sporting_CP and everyone at @Everton for giving me the opportunity to play regular football again this season. #BolasieÉLeão #YYB pic.twitter.com/bKiz5vjumA

Winger Yannick Bolasie made the move to Sporting Lisbon on loan, and despite being more than a bit-part player at Everton for the good part of two seasons, fans still wished the DR Congo international luck on his move to Portugal.
The attacker posted a goodbye message on Twitter, and Everton supporters sent their good luck replies to the former Crystal Palace man ahead of his temporary transfer to Sporting.
Here is what some Everton fans had to say on Twitter…
Good luck lad. Hope you can get out there and enjoy your football again.

Good luck lad. Shame injury robbed you of the proper chance of a career at Everton. Wish you all the best.

Wish you better luck than you’ve had with us.

Good luck Yannick. Would have been good for you at Everton but for that nasty injury. Sure you'll be a big success.

This will be Bolasie’s third loan move away from Everton having been to both Anderlecht and Aston Villa last season.
