During the recent transfer window, rumors linked Yannick Bolasie to Tottenham Hotspur, with English media reporting Spurs’ interest in the Crystal Palace winger. However, Alan Pardew, Bolasie’s manager, dismissed these claims. Speaking to L’Express, Pardew stated, “Yan is a fantastic talent. Although the media suggested a strong connection, there was no official contact between Tottenham and us — no manager-to-manager or chairman-to-chairman talks.”
He added, “So, everything indicates there was no real interest. But the media love these kinds of stories, and it makes for good build-up to this match.”
The match in question was played this afternoon, with Tottenham narrowly edging Crystal Palace 1-0.
