Supporters of Everton have fumed over the latest report on Yannick Bolasie’s potential permanent move to Sporting CP.
According to the latest report from A Bola, as cited by Sport Witness, the Democratic Republic of the Congo attacker is ‘at the end of the line’ with his Portuguese club, which left supporters gutted after the Liverpool Echo shared the news to Twitter.

He’s an Everton player so was always coming back. And will be kicked back out the door ASAP. I’m Sure Marcel is already trying to find him a club

Having arrived at Goodison Park for a whopping £25 million in the summer of 2016 (per BBC), he was shipped out to the Liga NOS in September for a season-long loan (per BBC).
However, after bagging just two goals and five assists for Sporting in 25 appearances (per Transfermarkt), it appears that Bolasie will be heading back to Merseyside at the end of the season (via Sport Witness).
No no no no no

What do we think?
While the Portuguese outfit appears to not want Bolasie on a permanent deal, he has been their eighth-best performer in the Liga NOS so far this season with a 6.76/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
However, similarly to Sporting CP, it is also clear that Everton fans do not want the attacker back at their club, so, perhaps a departure to an alternate destination may be on the cards.
