Everton winger Yannick Bolasie is wanted by both Tony Pulis’ Middlesbrough side and Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace team.

According to a report in The Sun, Everton’s Yannick Bolasie has turned down a move to Middlesbrough, and Crystal Palace are still waiting in the wings.

Boro had a £15 million bid accepted for Bolasie, but the winger did not want to drop into the Championship.

Palace are reluctant to match Middlesbrough’s bid for Bolasie, and want him on loan.

The Eagles had Bolasie earlier on in his career, and he enjoyed his best form with them, but they aren’t keen to spend big in this transfer window on him.

Everton are understood to be keen to get Bolasie off their books, and Palace are hoping that works out in their favour.

Roy Hodgson’s side are willing to pay Bolasie’s wages, but don’t want to pay a huge fee for the winger, who appears to have no first-team chances with Marco Silva’s side.

Boro, meanwhile, will have to look elsewhere as they search for replacements for Adama Traore.
