Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has completed a Deadline Day move to Anderlecht after travelling to Belgium to finalise the deal.

Bolasie has signed a loan deal, and will play his football in Belgium for the remainder of the campaign.

Anderlecht confirmed the move via their official website and social media shortly after Thursday's 11pm window deadline, publishing images of the player holding aloft his new shirt.

The 29-year-old DR Congo international spent the first half of the season on loan in the Championship with Aston Villa, where he scored twice in 21 appearances.

Bolasie was linked with a move to Newcastle and former club Crystal Palace after being told he is not part of Marco Silva's plans going forward.
