Returning Yannick Bolasie could be worth a punt for Newcastle

Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez should consider a move for Everton’s Yannick Bolasie this month.

The Spaniard has made it clear that he wants a few incomings in January, with the threat of a relegation battle very real once again this year.

A left-back, an attacking midfielder and a winger are reported to be the priorities.

With 22 days having already passed in the window, the Magpies need to start moving fast having not signed anyone thus far.

One man who could potentially come in and do a job for the Toon Army is Bolasie, who has just terminated his loan spell with Championship side Aston Villa (The Mirror).

Bolasie worth a try

Bolasie’s stint at Villa Park was uninspiring, but perhaps Newcastle should consider attempting a loan move for the player.

Time is running out and Newcastle need fresh impetus.

Bolasie proved at Crystal Palace that he can cut it in the Premier League, and he is the kind of flair player that can inject life into a crowd.

He didn’t do it often enough at Villa, but Newcastle may want to test the waters over a move for him this month. Surely Everton would like to see if he can return to form in the top flight following his serious knee injury shortly after signing for them.

Marco Silva has Ademola Lookman, Theo Walcott and Bernard at his disposal, making it difficult to see how Bolasie – a £30 million signing from Crystal Palace in 2016 (The Daily Mail) – can get any minutes at Goodison Park.

It certainly could be a feasible option for Newcastle.
