Yannick Bolasie
Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie says he is ready to prove himself as a Premier League player.
Bolasie made his top flight debut at Liverpool last weekend after missing the start of the campaign with a hamstring injury.
The Londoner impressed when he came off the bench in the second half at Anfield and says he has been using his time on the sidelines to study opposing defenders.
"I've been watching every team I can, looking at their full-backs; what they're good at and what they don't like," he said.
"I get to see how my opponents play and what their weaknesses are. Before this season I'd never seen a Premier League match live so it's been a buzz.
"The matches look tough, the teams keep the ball a bit better but for myself as a winger it looks like you have a chance to run at players.
"In the Championship you've probably got two or three players on you but in the Premier League everyone can do their own job so it's one on one.
I'm very confident I can do well.
"I was expecting to play in the opening match against Tottenham but I got injured on the Tuesday before the weekend.
"I was really gutted because I wanted to be there for my team and obviously it was the start of the Premier League so I was even more gutted. I'm glad I'm finally seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel now."
