Aston Villa and Middlesbrough reportedly want to sign Yannick Bolasie on loan from Everton in the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that Bolasie turned down a move to Middlesbrough at the start of the month, as he did not want to play in the Championship and was hoping to join a club in the Premier League.
The former Crystal Palace winger has reportedly accepted that he does not have a future at Everton, and Boro are claimed to have made the 29-year-old their top target.
“Everton boss Marco Silva will allow Bolasie to leave on loan, and while the DR Congo international’s £75,000-a-week pay packet could cause a problem, the Boro hierarchy will attempt to negotiate an agreement that is acceptable to all parties,” adds the report in The Northern Echo.
According to The Northern Echo, Middlesbrough’s Championship rivals, Aston Villa, are also hoping to sign the DR Congo international on loan in the summer transfer window.
Moving to Middlesbrough
Bolasie is a good winger who has a lot of offer, and the DR Congo international would be a good signing for Middlesbrough in the summer transfer window.
Boro could do with someone as experience and gifted as Bolasie, although Pulis’s side should be aware of the lure of Villa to the Everton winger as well.
Villa reached the Championship playoff final last season, and Steve Bruce’s side could be very tempting for Bolasie.
