Crystal Palace are considering re-signing Yannick Bolasie from Everton.

The winger left Palace for Everton in a £25million move in 2016 but he could return to Selhurst Park before Thursday’s deadline.

Palace manager Roy Hodgson wants to sign another forward after Bakary Sako left in the summer and Bolasie has been told he can leave Everton by new manager Marco Silva.

The 29-year-old, though, would not be a replacement for Wilfried Zaha, who Palace are determined to keep amid interest from Chelsea.

Bolasie joined Palace for only £350,000 in 2012, when Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman was the manager, and spent four seasons at Selhurst Park, making 143 appearances and helping the club into the Premier League.

The winger has had a difficult time at Everton and suffered a serious knee injury just four months after his move to Goodison Park. He returned to action a year later but he has not been able to rediscover the form he showed during his time at Palace.

Bolasie played a key role in helping Palace secure promotion to the Premier League in 2013 and he was popular among supporters.

Everton have signed Richarlison for £44million from Watford and Bolasie is not in the plans of Silva. He was left out of the Everton squad for their pre-season friendly against Valencia on Saturday
