YANNICK BOLASIE will finally become an Everton player at the start of next week – for an initial £25 million.
And that fee will rise to £30m once the Congo winger has hit various performance and success related clauses at Goodison.
Blues boss Ronald Koeman got his man when terms were agreed with Crystal Palace earlier today.
The player, who was initially set to play in Palace’s opener against West Brom, now just has the formalities of a medical before the deal is finalised.

Koeman is also confident of making it a double swoop, by getting centre back Lamina Kone from Sunderland.
David Moyes finally admitted his former club had tabled an £18m bid for the Ivory Coast defender yesterday, after initially denying there had been an offer.
Kone himself forced the issue by insisting he wanted to leave, as Sunderland had not come up with a promised new deal.
And terms on that one are expected to be concluded within days of Bolasie’s capture being announced.
They will join Ashley Williams, who was signed from Swansea on Wednesday.
