According to Turkish outfit Miliyet, Fenerbahce have approached Everton over a loan move for unsettled attacker Yannick Bolasie.

What’s the story?

Bolasie joined Everton from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016, but the 29-year-old has found it difficult to make his mark at Goodison Park.

Indeed, the attacker has only made 32 appearances for the Toffees in all competitions – scoring just two goals.

A serious knee injury saw Bolasie miss more than 12 months of football between December 2016 and December 2017, but he also struggled to find his best form in the second half of the 2017-18 campaign.

According to Turkish outfit Miliyet, Fenerbahce want to sign Bolasie on loan this summer, and Everton are open to the Congo international leaving the club on a short-term basis.

The Everton fans have recently been commenting on the future of the attacker, and it would be fair to say that the bulk want him to leave in this summer’s transfer window.

Should Everton loan Bolasie out?

To be honest, a loan move makes absolutely no sense for Everton.

Fenerbahce would be signing a player who has the potential to be a star in Turkey, but it is difficult to see where Everton benefit, other than having his wages off the books for one season.

Indeed, Bolasie is no spring chicken at the age of 29, and he still has three years left to run on his contract with the Merseyside giants.

A poor season in Turkey would make it difficult for Everton to sell Bolasie in next summer’s transfer window, meanwhile, and the club are better off keeping him and seeking a permanent buyer ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

There is certainly a player in there somewhere, and it might well be that new head coach Marco Silva decides to have a closer look at the speedster during pre-season.
