Everton confirmed on Thursday afternoon that Muhamed Besic had returned to Middlesbrough on loan for the remainder of the 2018-19 campaign.
Besic spent the second half of last season on loan at Boro – making 15 Championship appearances – and has now returned to the Riverside Stadium.
Besic initially joined Everton from Ferencvaros in 2014, and made 31 appearances during his first season at Goodison Park.
The 5ft 10in midfielder only made two Premier League appearances for the Toffees last term, however, and has been deemed surplus to requirements by head coach Marco Silva.

The Everton fans have been reacting to the news on social media, and it would be fair to say that a number are disappointed that Besic has departed.
It is worth remembering that Besic is only 25 though, and could yet go on to forge a career with Everton following another campaign out on loan.
