Yannick Bolasie pens new Crystal Palace deal

Yannick Bolasie has reportedly signed a new contract to keep him at Crystal Palace until the summer of 2019.

The Congolese footballer was constantly linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur over the summer, but the Eagles made sure they kept hold of their main asset.

Eagles boss Alan Pardew has now revealed that the player has inked a new three-and-a-half year contract at the club, thereby ending any speculation over his future.

"This is a good news story for the football club, to secure this guy. Not only is he an exciting guy who the fans love, he's a great person and a great character. Unspoilt really by the fame and success he has had," he told the club's official website.
