According to The Times journalist Gary Jacob, Tottenham Hotspur have stated that they’re not interested in signing Crystal Palace’s Yannick Bolasie, but are focusing on extending current deals instead.
@llewi01 @lilywhite_rose Reckon Erikson signs new deal. No news on the outs, Lennon/Andros/Fazio. They claim no interest in Bolasie

Following Spurs’ open pursuit of West Brom striker Saido Berahino, it seems a doubt that the Lillywhite’s would splash the cash on Bolasie this late into the transfer window, whilst they are still looking to get a bid accepted for the Baggies’ striker.
Bolasie did say that now might be the right time for him to move away from Selhurst Park, as the link with Spurs was hotting up. However, Alan Pardew is adamant that the winger will only be sold if the time is right, alongside the price.
So, the Dr Congo international looks set to keep his spot at Crystal Palace, which we are sure the fans are delighted with.
In their game against Arsenal on Sunday, the Eagles had to withdraw both Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha, with the boss stating that both wingers are suffering from a lack of match fitness.
