Although he admits there is still some way to go in his rehabilitation.

The DR Congo international is working his way back to fitness after a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in December last year.

Bolasie had played just 16 times for the Toffees after his £25m move from Crystal Palace.

The fleet-footed winger started some ball work last week as he edges closer to a return to first-team involvement.

"I'm just happy to be back out there and moving about the way I can," the 28-year-old told evertontv.

“I’m getting stronger by the day and I'm looking forward to coming back.

"There's still a while to go but I'm happy with where I'm at.

“At this stage, I couldn't ask to be in a better place and everything just seems like it's clicking into place.

"I've got time to practice some things that I need to, so I'm happy.

"The fans...have always been on my side since I've been injured.

“Now I'm looking forward to coming back and showing them what I really can do.

"I believe they've seen a side of me at Crystal Palace and I'm sure I can provide that side but even better."

Everton have won just twice in all competitions so far this season, with boss Ronald Koeman coming under increasing pressure from fans.
