According to the Brentwood Gazette, West Ham, Tottenham, and Liverpool are battling it out to sign Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie. The report adds that the DR Congo international has been valued around £15 million.
Clubs have been looming over the Crystal Palace winger for quite some time now. Heavy reports of Bolasie making a switch to Spurs over the summer were quietly dismissed once the season started.
The 26-year-old joined Crystal Palace back in 2012 from Bristol City for a fee of £400,000. If the Eagles do sell the winger, they would make a massive profit, which couldn’t hurt the club financially.
Since joining the Eagles back in 2012, the Congolese winger has made 127 appearances for the London side, accumulating a total of 11 goals. In addition, Bolasie has appeared countless times for his national team. He has played 28 matches for DR Congo, netting six goals.
Yannick Bolasie has been a major piece to Alan Pardew’s side this season. In 21 league appearances, Bolasie has scored four goals, provided two assists, and has created 20 chances for his side.
Crystal Palace should do their best to keep the star winger. However, a large enough bid could result in Bolasie leaving. It would seem crazy for the Eagles to sell their star player to another London club such as West Ham and Tottenham, which makes Liverpool the most realistic club.
