Yannick Bolasie could be on his way out of Everton this summer, with the winger having struggled for form and playing time at Goodison Park over the last three years.

Bolasie joined Everton from Crystal Palace on August 15, 2016 and has made only 32 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating six goals. He’s spent the last nine months on loan at Aston Villa and RSC Anderlecht and could be leaving Everton for a cut-price.

The 29-year-old has an asking price of £7m – £18m less than what Everton paid for him. Bolasie’s spell at Goodison Park could hardly have gone worse which is likely why he’s so cheap. He’s had injuries, been sidelined for lengthy periods and hasn’t managed to find some form.

In his debut season, Bolasie made just 13 league appearances and scored one goal. In his second season, Bolasie made 16 league appearances and scored only one goal too. His last appearance for the Toffees came against West Ham United on May 13, 2018 and his temporary switch to Villa didn’t go well – two goals in 21 games.

The DR Congo international hasn’t been a good signing for Everton, but the prospect of Bolasie leaving for such little money isn’t ideal.
