Everton pair Yannick Bolasie and Mo Besic are holding talks with Tony Pulis over a proposed loan move to Middlesbrough, according to Sky Sports.
The two players travelled to Teesside on Sunday night and stayed at the club's training ground hotel, which is owned by Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson.
Besic agreed terms with the Championship side and has now returned to the North West to sort out an issue with Everton before signing.
Middlesbrough also want Bolasie on a season-long loan, although any agreement may contain an option to buy.
