Tottenham want Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie

That is according to the Mirror, who claim the the Congo international is keen on a move to White Hart Lane.

The 26-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in January, but Brendan Rodgers baulked at the club's inflated valuation of the player.

Bolasie impressed last season with four goals and 11 assists to help the Eagles to a 10th-place finish in the Premier League.

Spurs will have to splash the cash to land Bolasie this summer, with the Selhurst Park outfit looking for at least £40million.

Palace boss Alan Pardew said in January: "I'll sell Yannick, if someone wants to give me £40m to £60m, somewhere in there, that would be good.

“I’ll take it and we'll build the team around that money. Every player has a price, of course.”
