It’s done. Yannick Bolasie’s long-feted move to Everton has been officially sealed this afternoon.
Bolasie, who scored a mighty 12 goals in 122 games during his four seasons at Crystal Palace, has moved to Goodison for a fee of £25million.
The 27-year-old has signed a five-year contract and will henceforth wear the No.14 shirt.

Capable of making things happen at pace on the break, Bolasie’s acquisition will no doubt be an exciting prospect for Everton fans, even though £25million looks like a hefty price tag for a player as intermittent as he.
He could be great, he could be frustrating, he could be a considerable waste of money and he might even be all three within the space of one match.
Let’s wait and see, shall we?
As for Palace… welp.
