After much speculation, Yannick Bolasie has signed for Everton in a twenty-five million pound deal.
The DR Congo international joins the Merseyside club on a five year deal after four season in South London after signing from Bristol City in 2012.
Bolasie made 143 appearances for the Eagles and scored thirteen goals in his time at the club as well as twenty-seven international caps, scoring seven goals for DR Congo. The fan favourite has grown in his time at the club. While exciting ane frustrating in equal measure, he played a part in Palace achieving Premier League status.
Born in Lyon, France, his career started in the Rushden & Diamonds youth team before spells at Hillingdon Borough, Floriana in Malta, Plymouth Argyle, Barnet (on loan) before joining Bristol City in 2011. In his final season at Ashton Gate, he was named Young Player of the Year by the Supporters Club and Trust before moving to Palace for an undisclosed fee on an initial three year contract.
We wish Yannick all the very best for the future.
