Aston Villa have confirmed they have completed the season-long loan signing of Everton winger Yannick Bolasie.

The 29-year old DR Congo international had fallen out of favour with new Everton boss Marco Silva, and the Portuguese coach had subsequently given the former Crystal Palace man the green light to find a new club.
Bolasie looked likely to join Middlesbrough, but chose to sign for the Villans instead after manager Steve Bruce showed late interest.
The dynamic forward joined Everton in 2016 in a £25million deal from the Eagles, and impressed in his early showings for the club.
However, the winger sustained a lengthy ligament injury in December and wouldn’t play for the Toffees until the following December.
After his return, Bolasie struggled to recover the impressive form he previously showed, which eventually would lead to him being deemed surplus to requirements following the signing of Richarlison form Watford.
