Middlesbrough are reportedly eyeing a move for Everton attacker Yannick Bolasie ahead of the closing of this summer's transfer window.

Bolasie is believed to be surplus to requirements at Everton this summer, having struggled to settle at Goodison Park since a 2016 move from Crystal Palace.

Palace have been linked with a swoop for their former player, but according to Sky Sports News, Middlesbrough boss Tony Pulis wants to bring the 29-year-old to the Riverside Stadium.

Pulis recently admitted that his squad needs a boost if they are to challenge for promotion this season, and the club have money to spend following the sales of Patrick Bamford and Ben Gibson.

Bolasie, who missed more than a year of football with a cruciate knee ligament injury between December 2016 and December 2017, has managed just two goals in 32 appearances for Everton.
