DONE DEAL! Middlesbrough Sign Everton Striker Bolasie

Championship side Middlesbrough have announced the signing of Yannick Bolasie on loan from Everton.

The forward is yet to feature for the Goodison Park outfit this season after returning to the club from his loan spell with Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.

The 31-year-old attacker made 14 league appearances for Sporting CP and scored one goal during his stay with the side.

In an effort to enjoy playing time, the Democratic Republic of the Congo international has sealed a temporary move to the Riverside Stadium outfit.

The forward is no stranger to the Championship, having also featured on loan with Aston Villa in the 2018-19 season in the division before moving to Belgium to join Anderlecht.

Middlesbrough manager Neil Warnock believes Bolasie will be a good addition to his side as they aim to secure promotion to the Premier League at the end of the campaign.

“I’ve known Yannick for many years. I asked him if he could help us out until the end of the season and get some fitness in at the same time,” Warnock told the club website.

“We can’t expect wonders but he’s a good lad and he can play different positions for me. He’ll be good in the dressing room and it’s a big boost for us.”
