# Toffee Outcast Set for Deadline Day Loan – Will He Thrive?

Out-of-favour Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is set for a deadline day move away from the club, [according to Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11680/12105140/yannick-bolasie-middlesborough-in-talks-to-sign-winger-on-loan-from-everton).

The former Crystal Palace winger will move to Middlesbrough on loan, linking up with his former manager at Palace, Neil Warnock, at Boro.

The 31-year-old was on the cusp of joining Boro two years ago but opted instead for [a loan spell with Aston Villa](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45281262)instead.

Sky Sports understands that talks have already taken place and it is understood Bolasie is keen on a move to the Riverside Stadium.

The DR Congo international joined Everton from Palace for £25m in August 2016 but has featured just 32 times for Everton in four years. His last appearance for the club came back in May 2018.

Bolasie had [several loan spells](https://www.transfermarkt.com/yannick-bolasie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/75471) over the course of the past two seasons out on loan, having spells with Villa, Anderlecht and Sporting Lisbon.

He has less than a year remaining [on his contract](https://www.transfermarkt.com/yannick-bolasie/profil/spieler/75471) at Everton and will be free to talk over a free transfer to other clubs in January. There is no indication that Everton will preserve his value by extending his contract.

### Read Everton Verdict

Bolasie is something of an outcast at Goodison Park.

Having fallen out of favour – failing to feature in any competitive game until February – the Everton board would do well to get the Congolese international off their wage bill.

A move to Boro represents a chance for Bolasie to rekindle his career as Everton looks to move on players deemed surplus to requirements. For Ancelotti’s side, there are no obvious disadvantages to this move.
