Yannick Bolasie to Everton: Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew does not want to sell star
CRYSTAL PALACE manager Alan Pardew does not want to sell Yannick Bolasie to Everton and expects his wide man to face West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park tomorrow.
But Pardew sees Bolasie, who has been 'great' in training ahead of the season opener, as part of his plans as he looks to improve on Palace's 14th-place finish last season.

Everton are interested in signing Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie
“The player is contracted here,” he said. “This guy is a great player and a great person.
“I love him and will treat him with the utmost respect. I am dictated to by the board and there is no deal done.
“He’s a player I don’t want to lose but if I do, I’ll replace him with like.”
Rather than losing star players, Pardew hopes to add to his squad after bringing in Andros Townsend from Newcastle United, James Tomkins from West Ham and Steve Mandanda from Marseille.
“I will be looking to sign two forwards and also some other positions,” Pardew said. “We will have to wait to see how that evolves.”
“We have got nothing concrete to announce today - lot of rumours but nothing that is going to happen before the weekend.
