Everton legend Peter Reid believes the club needs the pace of Yannick Bolasie to ease their struggles in attack.

The DR Congo international suffered a serious knee injury in the Toffees' 1-1 draw against Manchester United on December 4, 2016.

And while the Merseysiders have struggled to replace the productivity of Romelu Lukaku - who departed for Old Trafford in the summer - scoring just 12 goals in 12 games in the English Premier League, the former Manchester City and Southampton player believes the 28-year-old's pace would solve their problem in attack.

"He [Bolasie] has got pace and I don't think there is enough pace in the Everton side," Reid told Sky Sports.
