INTERVIEWS With Yannick Bolasie Anderlecht have managed to get a big name on Deadline Day. What can we expect from him? Sporza spoke with the English journalist Phil Kirkbride. He nevertheless makes some comments. "It's a gamble.


According to Kirkbride it is difficult to estimate whether Bolasie yields immediate returns. "When Everton got him in 2016, he was a player with power and speed. When he had his day, he could really hurt defenses, but then that serious knee injury came, and since then there is a question mark behind his name."

Before the winter break Bolasie played at Aston Villa, but this was not an undivided success. "He went in and out of the team and exchanged good moments with bad ones." The fact that Bolasie then decided to cancel the loan, did not, according to Kirkbride, agree with happiness. "The coach immediately made it clear that he had to find another club, Bolasie had no chance to play at his mother club."

Fortunately Kirkbride also has positive things to report. "Bolasie is not a difficult boy, he was good in the group at Everton, he has great qualities and dribbles, but because of that knee injury it is a bit of a gamble."
