Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been told that they must pay £28 million if they want to sign Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie, according to the Mail on Sunday.

The wide man has attracted the interest of a number of Premier League clubs this summer following an impressive 2015/16 season with the Eagles, with Spurs said to be leading the race for the 27-year-old, and West Ham United, Everton also understood to be keen on the DR Congo international.

Those rumours have intensified after the south London outfit signed Andros Townsend from Newcastle United earlier this month,  but they will demand a fee of £28 million for the winger, which could scare off any potential suitors.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to strengthen his squad with a Champions League campaign on the horizon, but it remains to be seen whether he will sign Bolasie, who has scored 13 goals in 143 appearances in all competitions for Palace.

    Only about £20 million overpriced. Townsend was bought for half that price and is immeasurably better. Keep him

    Two words: Andriy Yarmolenko!

  3. Anthony Gore says:

    Not worth anywhere near??

  4. Richard C says:

    The price is based purely on the fact Palace don’t want to sell. Everyone has a price however. In certain areas of the field Bolasie is a better player than Townsend but in others Townsend is way ahead. Townsend was great business for Palace and to be honest I am suprised he was sold for as little as he was.
