Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has revealed that Yannick Bolasie's switch to Everton is close to being finalised, with the winger's 'heart and soul now elsewhere'.
The 27-year-old was used as a second-half sub in the Eagles' home defeat to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday after being made the subject of a reported £30m bid last week.
Reports suggest that Bolasie will travel to Merseyside to undergo a medical at Everton on Sunday afternoon, bringing to an end his four-year stint at Selhurst Park since joining from Bristol City.
Pardew has now confirmed that a move is all but complete, telling BBC Sport: "We know there is a big offer and a big club in for him. The deal is close and he will go with my best wishes.
"There's no medical done or agreement 100% done. But it's fair to say we know his heart and soul may be elsewhere."
Bolasie scored six goals in 31 appearances for Palace last season, five of which came in the Premier League.
