Alan Pardew: 'Yannick Bolasie not ready for top club'

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew insists that winger Yannick Bolasie is not ready to move to a "top club" at the end of the season.

Alan Pardew has insisted that Yannick Bolasie is not ready to leave Crystal Palace for a "top club" in this summer's transfer window.

The Congo DR international has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Liverpool as a result of his performances with the Eagles this season, forcing the manager to place a £40m price tag on the winger.

"I don't think there are many players who get clapped off at Anfield for a performance where he disrupted a season as good as them. But he needs to find the end product and he'll work hard on that next year," the manager is quoted as saying by ESPN.

"We might have a problem next year if he really starts banging them in. The thorn in his side is actual goals. Just on this season, it would be a mistake for a top club to get him because I don't think he's ready. But he will be ready in maybe a year or so when he's got over that final hurdle. Then there will be no stopping him.

"He's a fantastic boy and a fantastic talent. I love him to bits. I call him my 'magic man' and hopefully he'll give us a bit of magic against Swansea on Sunday."

Bolasie joined Palace from Bristol City in 2012, following spells with Plymouth Argyle, Barnet and Rushden & Diamonds.
