It has been reported by the Daily Star that former Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie will be allowed to leave Everton this summer and a lot of Eagles fans are hoping this means a reunion could be on the cards.
According to the newspaper, Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti does not have the winger in his plans for next season, so not only is he available for a modest fee of £3m, the Toffees are actively looking to sell him.
The 30-year-old left Selhurst Park in 2016 for a fee of around £26m after having a great campaign at Palace, per Transfermarkt, as he managed on average 2.2 shots a game and 2.9 completed dribbles a game, via WhoScored. This highlighted how dangerous he was offensively. He also managed to contribute with 30 assists across his 144 appearances at the club, as per Transfermarkt.

However his move never paid off after a cruciate rupture injury saw him miss 53 games for Everton and sidelined him for a year. He subsequently struggled to get back into the team and is now on loan at Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.
Arguably it would be a risk for Palace to sign the player and even though some fans seem to be driven by sentiment, a return to Selhurst Park could be the perfect catalyst to reignite Bolasie’s career so he can end it on a high.
Here is what these Eagles fans had to say following the report:
