Yannick Bolasie is in line for debut when Everton travel to West Brom in the Premier League on Saturday.

The winger has signed a five-year deal after joining from Crystal Palace, saying the move was a “no-brainer”.

Everton, who drew with Tottenham on the opening day, have also been linked with moves for Joe Hart and Lamine Kone, although manager Ronald Koeman refused to comment on either when asked in his pre-match press conference.

“What I don’t like is to talk about rumours,” he said. “They could go on for two weeks more, with so many players linked with Everton.” Naija and Bet

West Brom boss Tony Pulis has been talking about potential transfers ahead of the match, saying he wants striker Saido Berahino and defender Jonny Evans to stay.

“Nobody is more keen for Saido to stay than me,” said Pulis.

There has been speculation that Arsenal are interested in Evans, but Pulis said: “The most important thing is that Jonny is with us and we want him to stay because he’s an outstanding player.”

The Baggies beat Crystal Palace 1-0 last weekend thanks to Salomon Rondon’s second-half goal.

Team news

James Morrison is fully fit for West Brom after making his return from injury at Palace last week.

The midfielder suffered a hamstring problem in January but was a late substitute at Selhurst Park and is available again for Saturday’s encounter.

Chris Brunt remains out with a serious knee injury which forced him to miss Northern Ireland’s Euro 2016 campaign but is expected to return to full training in September.

Koeman will make late calls about whether centre-back Ashley Williams has built up sufficient fitness to make his Everton debut and if Romelu Lukaku is fit enough to be involved, the striker having returned to training on Thursday after a heel injury.

Full-back Seamus Coleman is facing another two weeks at least on the sidelines with his ankle problem.
