# West Brom: Sam Allardyce tipped to sign Everton man Yannick Bolasie

**Sam Allardyce has been tipped to sign Everton man Yannick Bolasie for West Brom in the January transfer window by former Premier League star Dean Windass.**

Speaking to [Football FanCast](https://www.footballfancast.com/west-brom-transfer-rumours/wba-baggies-latest-transfer-january-update-sam-allardyce-plans-dean-windass-exclusive-e17-yannick-bolasie-everton-bid-exit-premier-league-gossip), Windass was asked as to whether he could see the 66 year-old signing his former player for the Baggies next month, to which he said:

*“Yeah, pace in the wide areas.*

*“He’s been Everton’s forgotten man but yeah \[I’d take him\].*

*“Listen, Sam will know, Sam will have it in his mind who he needs.”*

### Bolasie could be a smart signing

Bolasie could well turn out to be a smart signing by Allardyce should he be able to attract the DR Congo international to the Hawthorns.

He has played in [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-bolasie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/75471/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=445) past games before under the former West Ham United and Sunderland boss, and so Allardyce should know exactly to how to get the best out of him.

The 31 year-old also has a [wealth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yannick-bolasie/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/75471/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=) of experience in the Premier League under his belt, very much like his manager, which could be crucial in keeping Albion up by the end of the 2020/21 term.

Bolasie can still be [‘unbelievable’](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/everton-neil-warnock-comments-on-interest-in-yannick-bolasie/) on his day, once exemplified by netting himself a quite sublime [hat-trick](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/32180018) away at the Stadium of Light for Crystal Palace back in April of 2015, and his pace and trickery makes the wide man [‘fun to watch’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/08/blogs/premier-league/everton-podcast-pundit-heaps-praise-on-yannick-bolasie/).

Nonetheless, Allardyce has been backed to complete the signing of Bolasie in the January transfer window by Windass, but it remains to be seen if a deal does get done.
