One day I can be worth £40-60m - Crystal Palace's Bolasie

Yannick Bolasie believes he can one day meet Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew's valuation of him.

The DR Congo winger has impressed for the Eagles this season - his second in England's top flight - so much so that Pardew told any clubs interested in his services to stump up between £40million and £60million.

While Bolasie feels he is far from the finished article, he does have belief in his own ability that one day down the track he can actually be valued at the astronomical fee.

"I am always learning every day - I am ¬equivalent to a puzzle coming together," the former Plymouth Argyle, Rushden & Diamonds, Barnet and Bristol City wideman said in an interview with the Daily Mirror.

"I am putting all the pieces together and just trying to get the final parts. My game has really improved this season and a lot of people have really seen what I can do.

"They normally say the second season in the Premier League is the hardest because everyone knows you. But I haven't been really sussed out yet. The manager says I could be worth £40m-60m, I find it interesting and funny, but potentially why not?

"All the work I put in, if I score some more goals then why not potentially one day? I strive to improve and every season I have different aims.

"But at the same time you have to back it up with ¬performances. After I scored a hat-trick (against Sunderland on April 11), I feel I have been getting in better areas and I am pretty confident I'm going to score some more. We have Manchester United and Liverpool next and I am looking forward to those games."
