Everybody and their dog knows that Everton’s Yannick Bolasie has a great big bag of tricks.
After all, that’s one of the reasons why the Toffees spent £30 million on signing him back in 2016.
And Bolasie – now loan at Middlesbrough – showcased his ability in a training session on Teeside on Tuesday afternoon.
The 31-year-old, who isn’t fancied by Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti, bamboozled one team-mate in a fine demonstration of his trickery.
And here’s how some Boro fans reacted to the footage on Twitter yesterday:
He only joined the Championship side in January after a summer move fell through at the 11th hour – and it’s been a decent loan so far.
Bolasie, who had his fair share of injury problems at Everton, is a first-team regular under Neil Warnock, with three of his four appearances coming from the first XI, and somebody of his class and experience is only going to improve.
Warnock’s side are three places and seven points adrift of the playoff spots right now but, with 11 games to go and the Everton loanee in the ranks, anything could happen over the coming months – especially if the former Palace attacker recaptures the form – and tricks – that made him such a difficult player to defend against in the Premier League.
