Crystal Palace have reportedly accepted a £25 million bid from Premier League rivals Everton for winger Yannick Bolasie, according to ESPN FC.

The Eagles were understood to have turned down an offer of £18 million from the Toffees on Monday, but now the Merseyside outfit have returned with a considerably improved bid that has been reluctantly accepted by the south London club.

Ronald Koeman had made the Democratic Republic of Congo international one of his top targets this summer and believes the wide man can be a key player for his team in the upcoming season.

The Dutchman is believed to have been given a significant transfer budget by new owner Farhad Moshiri, but has only brought in goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and midfielder Idrissa Gueye so far.

However, following the sale of John Stones for £47.5 million to Manchester City earlier on Tuesday, Swansea captain Ashley Williams is also set to move to Goodison Park.
