Could Yannick Bolasie leave the Premier League for Scottish champions Celtic? Besiktas and Ligue 1 outfit Rennes are also allegedly interested.
Celtic are interested in signing forgotten Everton forward Yannick Bolasie, according to Goal.
Three years after the Toffees made Bolasie the most expensive signing in their history, paying Crystal Palace a staggering £28 million for a jet-heeled winger (the Guardian), the Congo international finds himself stuck between a rock in a hard place.
The 30-year-old’s time at Goodison Park has been interrupted by serious injury problems and he spent the entirety of last season away on loan, first at Aston Villa and then at Belgian giants Anderlecht.
And with the English transfer window shut, Bolasie will have to leave the Premier League in order to get his career back on track.
But, according to Goal, Celtic are battling Besiktas and Rennes in an attempt to offer Bolasie a fresh start, despite his eye-watering £80,000-a-week wages.
A player who shone at Crystal Palace thanks to his wizardry on the wings, the Congo international recently turned down a potential £5 million move to CSKA Moscow as he wasn’t keen on heading to Russia in the peak years of his career.
Could Celtic put together a package to convince Bolasie that Scotland could be the scene of his renaissance?
