Everton FC set to complete fourth summer signing today

Yannick Bolasie is set to be unveiled as Everton’s fourth summer signing later today.

The Democratic Republic of Congo international arrived on Merseyside yesterday after the Blues struck a £25 million deal with Crystal Palace.

Bolasie underwent a medical just 24 hours on from a final appearance for the Eagles as a substitute in their opening Premier League defeat to West Brom.

After the game, Alan Pardew revealed that the 27-year-old was ‘close’ to securing a switch to Goodison Park as Ronald Koeman’s latest recruit.

Everton remain in the market for a centre-back with Sunderland’s Lamine Kone earmarked to join the back line ranks following John Stones’ exit.

Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal is also being considered as a new addition as Koeman looks to add further depth to his current attacking options.
