Burnley want Everton star Yannick Bolasie in £15m deal with boss Sean Dyche keen on winger
Crystal Palace are also keen on their former player but the Clarets' move has wrecked their chances of taking him on loan
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche is ready to sign Everton speedster Yannick Bolasie in a £15million deal.
Dyche has opened talks with the Goodison club for winger Bolasie and is the only bidder close to their £20m valuation.
Crystal Palace are keen on Bolasie but do not rate him at that price and Burnley’s bid has wrecked their chances of taking him on loan.
Middlesbrough also want Bolasie, who worked for Tony Pulis when he was at Palace, but they cannot match the fee and can only offer Championship football.
Bolasie is due to be given the go ahead to leave Merseyside and Burnley are confident they can agree personal terms.
Keeper Joe Hart today completed a £4m move to Turf Moor.

SunSport revealed last week the 31-year-old had undergone a medical ahead of his move from from Manchester City.
Hart has taken the opportunity Sean Dyche has offered of starting the season as his first-choice goalkeeper following injuries to Nick Pope and Tom Heaton.
Pope is out long-term and Heaton has a calf problem, prompting Dyche to move for Hart ahead of Sunday’s Premier League opener at Southampton.
Burnley have also added Ben Gibson in a £15m move from Middlesbrough, with the centre-back hoping to earn a Three Lions recall.
