Middlesbrough are favourites to land Yannick Bolasie on loan but Aston Villa still hope to convince the Everton winger to join them.

Bolasie is understood to have travelled to Boro's training ground today for discussions with Tony Pulis over a loan switch to the Riverside.

The Championship leaders are believed to be confident over signing Bolasie and also remain interested in signing Blues' midfielder Mo Besic on loan.

But Villa are also hoping to hold talks with Bolasie in the next 24 hours in an attempt to sign him over their league rivals.

Everton, meanwhile, have only received one official bid from RB Leipzig for Ademola Lookman, it is understood, despite reports of a third offer - worth £22m - having been tabled.

The Blues' stance over Lookman is, at this stage, unchanged and the 20-year-old remains not for sale.

Everton are expecting to have a clearer picture over Morgan Schneiderlin's injury on Tuesday morning.

After the weekend's win over Southampton, Marco Silva was hopeful the injury which forced the midfielder off mid-way through the first-half was not serious.

But Blues medical staff will have a better idea on the issue on Tuesday with the hope that Schneiderlin can be passed fit in time for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.
