Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has joined Belgian club Anderlecht on loan until the end of the season.
Bolasie spent the first half of the campaign at Aston Villa before cutting his time at the Championship club short earlier this month.
However, the winger was told that he is not part of Marco Silva's plans and has now secured a temporary exit until the end of the current campaign.
"We are very happy with the arrival of Yannick Bolasie. His qualities are indisputable. We are confident that it will be a big plus for the rest of the season," Anderlecht sporting director Michael Verschueren told the club's official website.
The 29-year-old finalised his move shortly before the 11pm transfer deadline and joins an Anderlecht side sitting fifth in the Belgian top flight table.
Bolasie joined Everton in 2016 but has been limited to just 32 appearances for the club across all competitions.
