Bolasie Worth Double His Price Tag, Says Pardew

Crystal Palace manager, Alan Pardew says Yannick Bolasie is worth about £20m, owing to his impressive form of late.

The DR Congo international, who scored a hat-trick last weekend in Crystal Palace’s 4-1 win at Sunderland, is reportedly in the book of rival clubs willing to hand out £10m for his services.

“They need to have a look at that, because he is worth double,” Pardew said.

The Eagles have lost just three matches since the former Newcastle manager was confirmed head coach in early January and are 11 in the Premier League standings.

They hosts West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon- a game which will see former Palace manager Tony Pulis return to Selhurst Park for the first time since his departure last August.

“We are in a terrific mood, in terms of confidence,” Pardew added. “We have great momentum. We’re more expansive now. We have a great attacking set up. I think we’re exciting to watch and we have new goals to break into the top 10.”
