Spurs plan raid for Palace winger

Tottenham are reportedly ready to raid Crystal Palace for star winger Yannick Bolasie.

Following the sale of Spurs flop Roberto Soldado to La Liga outfit Villarreal yesterday, the Premier League club are willing to splash the cash to bring in the Democratic Republic of the Congo international to White Hart Lane.

The 26-year-old, who arrived at Selhurst Park from Bristol City back in 2012, scored four goals in 35 appearances in all competitions for the Eagles last season, including an 11-minute hat-trick against Sunderland.

It is understood that Alan Pardew’s Palace need to balance their books following their summer spending spree on the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Patrick Bamford, Bakary Sako and Connor Wickham.

The Eagles are willing to listen to offers for Dwight Gayle, Joe Ledley, Barry Bannan and former captain Mike Jedinak, although manager Pardew may face an uphill task to keep hold of Bolasie at Selhurst Park.
