Yannick Bolasie

Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie has extended his contract with the club.

Bolasie has committed his future to the Eagles after penning a new three-and-a-half-year deal.

The 26-year-old was reportedly a target of Premier League rivals Tottenham in the close season and Palace fans will be thrilled he is staying at Selhurst Park.

"There was no bid but we know, if he was available for £5m, we'd have a queue from here to wherever," said manager Alan Pardew.

"He's a lot more money than that, and now we've got three and a half years he's worth a lot more money."

Pardew wants Bolasie to score more goals after finding the net just seven times since joining from Bristol City in 2012.

"I've said all along that this guy needs to deliver the final moment, and when he does that he won't be here in three and a half years," said Pardew.

"If I can develop him and take this club forward, that's great. Then if a big club comes we use that money to take the club forward. Simple equation."
