Aston Villa weighing up move for Everton winger

Aston Villa are reportedly among the sides vying to secure the signature of Yannick Bolasie from Everton on a season-long loan.

Bolasie has been with the Toffees for the past couple of seasons but he has supposedly been deemed surplus to requirements under Marco Silva.

Over the past week, Middlesbrough have been touted as a suitable destination for the former Crystal Palace man but according to The Star, they could face competition from Steve Bruce's side.

The west Midlands outfit are said to be eyeing a number of loan recruits before the loan window closes and they are said to have already made contact with Everton regarding Bolasie.

Bolasie suffered a serious knee injury during his maiden campaign with the Toffees and this has restricted to just 32 appearances for the Merseyside outfit to date.

Everton begun their Premier League campaign with a 2-2 draw on the road to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Summer signing Richarlison was the star on the day with a goal in either half.
