Bolasie departs Everton for Sporting on a season-long loan (GOAL)

The Toffees attacker will now spend the season in Portugal after sealing a deadline day move away from Goodison.

Yannick Bolasie has joined Sporting Lisbon on a season-long loan from Premier League club Everton.

The 30-year-old attacker hasn't featured at all for the Toffees this season having enjoyed loan spells at Aston Villa and Anderlecht over the last year.

Unable to work his way into Marco SIlva's plans over the past 18 months, the winger did impress in his most recent loan stint with Belgian club Anderlecht.

Scoring six goals across 17 appearances, Sporting will be hoping Bolasie can fire just as freely for them this season having secured a spot in the Europa League.

It's been a busy summer for the Portuguese club, who have managed to hold on to star captain Bruno Fernandes, despite strong interest from Tottenham and Real Madrid.

Deadline day also saw them secure PSG forward Jese on loan to really bolster their attacking stocks after a shaky start to the season.

Sporting most recently suffered a shock 3-2 defeat to Rio Ave in Primeira Liga to sit fifth in the domestic competition having finished third in their most recent campaign.

Prior to his move to Portugal, Bolasie had taken to social media to suggest people weren't working in the best interests of his career.
