If the summer transfer window has closed its doors since September 1 in most European championships and more recently in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, many players, some of whom are well known on the international scene, are still available. Some are really struggling, but others are mostly waiting for the right opportunity. This is the case of Yannick Bolasie. If you are a fan of the Premier League, this name necessarily speaks to you.

It must be said that the twirling Congolese winger made the heyday of Crystal Palace between 2012 and 2016, showing off his power, his speed, his twirling dribbles and his sense of spectacle well before Wilfried Zaha.

Despite ending the season as a starter, he went through a series of loans starting in 2018. At Aston Villa, then at Anderlecht via Sporting CP then Middlesbrough, where he played regularly.

A real preference for a new challenge in a European big 5 club

Over the past two seasons, Yannick Bolasie has been moving to Turkey and playing for Caykur Rizespor. After a final full season (17 goals in 26 matches), the Congolese international striker (50 caps – 9 goals), who had a brilliant CAN 2015 with the Leopards, finds himself free as the air after having refused offers from from Turkey. Bolasie now aspires to a final challenge in the European Big 5.

According to our information, he could see himself returning to England or evolving in France, having only experienced French life for a few months before arriving in England at the age of 7 months. Discussions are underway with several groups and an outcome could quickly occur. One of the most spectacular players of the last decade in the Premier League is still in good shape and only wants one thing, to return to the fields of the European big 5 in a team that will trust him. In England, France, Italy or elsewhere…
