LIVERPOOL, England (AP) " Congo international Yannick Bolasie has joined Everton from fellow Premier League club Crystal Palace for a reported fee of 25 million pounds ($32.25 million). Everton announced the signing of Bolasie on a five-year deal Monday, with the 27-year-old winger saying "it was a no-brainer to come here." Bolasie, a tricky and explosive forward, said "it's not about the money for me. Everton, which has greater financial power since Iranian-British businessman Farhad Moshiri became majority shareholder in February, bought center half Ashley Williams " the Wales captain " from Swansea last week. Everton manager Ronald Koeman, formerly coach of Southampton, said "Yannick is a player who has been a long time on my radar."
