Bolasie would be foolish to turn down Spurs
The report comes after the winger has been strongly linked with a move away from the Eagles with the Lily Whites touted as his next football home.
However, the coach was quoted this week saying there has been no formal bids for the 24-year-old after the player was vocal saying he’d consider a move to a bigger club.
According Daily Mail, the manager says Bolasie is a top player and it’s not unusual for players to be linked to big clubs.
“If any of my players get linked with bigger clubs I would not expect them to stay. It would be a foolish move,” said Pardew.
“Players move a lot in the current world of football, they do not stay at clubs for five to seven years. You have to keep your options open and I have got no problem with that.
“But the option at the moment is he's a Crystal Palace player. He is very much our player and loved by our fans and management team.
“Yannick is a player who will be linked with other clubs such as Tottenham all the time because he is an exciting player.”
Speaking about their previous match against Arsenal which ended in a 2-1 loss, Pardew adds that Bolasie wasn’t good but he can do well against Aston Villa in their next English Premier League tie.
“I did not think he was great against Arsenal (on Sunday) for a number of reasons but that does not mean to say that he will not be a match winner (against Aston Villa) on Saturday," he said.
Meanwhile, the Eagles and Pardew are said to be looking for around £20million for the French-born winger and it’s not clear yet whether Mauricio Pochettino is keen to match that.
