Yannick Bolasie’s Everton career never hit the heights expected of him after his £25million switch from Crystal Palace.
Loans to Aston Villa, RSC Anderlecht, Sporting Lisbon and Middlesbrough followed before a free transfer to Caykur Rizespor. After leaving the Turkish club, the 34-year-old spent a brief two-month spell with Swansea before being released at the end of January.
And now, the former Everton winger is closing in on a fresh challenge outside of European football.
