Everton outcast Yannick Bolasie has left the club on another loan deal, this time to Portuguese outfit Sporting, as

On the day that the transfer window slammed shut for teams across Europe, Bolasie finalised a season-long loan switch to the Portuguese club.

Bolasie was a big-money arrival during the Ronald Koeman era but went from one of the most potent and tricky wingers outside the Premier League top six into a show pony who was unable to get back to his best form after a horrible injury in 2016-17.

He spent the first half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, and the second half with Belgian side Anderlecht and will hope to rediscover his best form in Portugal.

Bolasie does not appear to have too many fans among the Everton support, with many of them taking to Twitter absolutely buzzing that he is out of their club at the 11th hour.

Everton have moved in a completely different direction since Bolasie arrived – Marco Silva has never seemingly been a fan – and the supporters are keen to progress without him in their ranks.
