Yesterday, Yannick Bolasie posted some 54-second footage of himself in training with Middlesbrough, where he’s currently on loan from Everton.

The clip shows Everton’s £25 million man enjoying himself at Rockliffe Park, pulling off a number of skills and flamboyant passes.

It led to many responses from fans of different clubs, who took time to appreciate the way in which Bolasie expresses himself on the ball.

Supporters of the winger’s former clubs Crystal Palace and Aston Villa were among those who commented on the video.

It’s great to see the 43-cap DR Congo international visibly having fun with a football again, after his time at Everton turned sour following a knee injury.

Since linking up with Neil Warnock again at the Riverside Stadium, the 31-year-old has made seven Championship appearances.

In those outings, Bolasie has recorded two assists.

WhoScored shows he completes 1.6 dribbles and has 1.4 shots per game in England’s second tier.

It’s always been a joy to watch the forward, who is no stranger to dazzling supporters with a trick or two.

Everton’s £75,000-a-week man even has his own skill named after him – the Bolasie Flick – which he pulled off for Crystal Palace against Tottenham in 2014.

The skill became so popular that it even made its way onto FIFA!

Let’s see what supporters have been saying about the out-on-loan Everton man’s mesmeric ball skills in Middlesbrough training…
