Besic finally exits

The Bosnian was close to a permanent move to the Riverside on deadline day, but the deal fell through at the last minute.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at the club and Tony Pulis was keen to have him back at the club.

Everton have now allowed him to complete a loan move back to the club, after asserting he would not be used in the first-team at Goodison Park this season.

Williams leaves

Another Everton midfielder on his way to the Championship is Joe Williams. The youngster impressed during a loan deal at Barnsley last season and had several clubs in the second-tier looking into his arrival this summer.

But Bolton Wanderers have agreed a move to bring the 21-year-old to the University of Bolton Stadium for the season.

Bolton are flying high in the Championship after an excellent start to the campaign and Trotters fans will hope Williams can help them push on.

Everton have inserted a recall option into the deal in case of injuries back at Goodison Park or a lack of action with the Trotters.

Bolasie outbound

Yannick Bolasie should also leave the club today. for Aston Villa’s draw with Brentford last night as he puts the final touches on a move to Villa Park.

The wideman has fallen down the pecking order at Goodison Park and is heading out on a season-long loan.
