Alan Pardew has said that in-demand Crystal Palace ace Yannick Bolasie would be "foolish" not to consider a move to a bigger club, amid reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
The £20m-rated winger has been linked with a switch to White Hart Lane before the transfer window closes on September 1, and Pardew expects the 26-year-old to think about leaving.
"If any of my players get linked to bigger clubs I wouldn't expect them to [ignore it]. It would be a foolish move," the Palace boss told reporters.
"Players move a lot in the current world of football, they don't stay at clubs for five, seven years. You have to keep your options open and I have no problem with that. The option I want is that he's a Crystal Palace player who is loved by our fans and loved by the management team.
"Yannick will be linked with other clubs like Tottenham because he is an exciting player."
Bolasie joined the Eagles from Bristol City in 2012.
