Newcastle United should make a move for the Everton winger this summer.

Yannick Bolasie attends the Football Black List 2016 at Village Underground on March 28, 2017 in London, England.

According to a report from the Mirror, Everton are willing to sell Yannick Bolasie for just £15 million this summer, and the winger would be a superb addition for Newcastle United.

The 29-year-old joined the Toffees from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £25 million, according to BBC Sport, but he has made just 32 appearances in all competitions for the Blues.

He suffered a serious knee injury during his first season on Merseyside, but he returned to somewhere near his best last term, showcasing his outstanding ability on a consistent basis.

Bolasie possesses pace in abundance, and plays with a certain kind of directness that would undoubtedly help Newcastle improve upon the potency of their play in the final third.

The DR Congo international can play anywhere along the front-line, although he is most comfortable when deployed in the right-wing role.

He is a classic winger in every sense, and relishes one-to-one battles with opposing defenders.

The Magpies are in desperate need of more penetration on the flanks, and Bolasie would certainly provide them with that.

In today’s day and age, £15 million for a player with the Everton ace’s quality represents excellent value for money, and Rafa Benitez should not hesitate to bring him to Newcastle this summer.
