Middlesbrough are trying to sign Everton forward Yannick Bolasie on loan.
The 31-year old played for Neil Warnock at Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough are eager to secure a deal before Friday's 5pm deadline.
Bolasie's Everton contract runs until the summer of 2021, but he hasn't played for the Toffees since 2018.
The DR Congo international has been sent on loan three times in recent seasons, spending time with Aston Villa, Anderlecht and Sporting Lisbon.
Bolasie played for Palace between 2012 and 2016, with Warnock taking charge of the club for the second time in 2014.
